One of Indonesia's best-loved snacks, perkedel kentang are small patties made by mixing boiled, mashed potatoes with onion and spices. Traditionally fried in hot oil, these are cooked in an air fryer for a lighter version for children.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the mash

10 min

Mash the boiled potatoes thoroughly while still hot until smooth, then leave to cool until lukewarm.

2

Mix and knead

10 min

Add the grated onion, egg, flour, ground red pepper and salt to the lukewarm mash and knead together. The mixture should be firm enough not to stick to your hands.

3

Rest and shape

15 min

Chill the mixture for 15 minutes, then shape into small, flat patties in your palms.

4

Cook in the air fryer

20 min

Brush the patties with a thin coating of oil and arrange in a single layer in the air-fryer basket. Cook at 200°C / 390°F for 20 minutes, turning occasionally. If you do not have an air fryer, cook in an oven preheated to 200°C / 390°F for the same time, turning occasionally.

Reminder

Let the mashed potatoes cool before shaping, or the patties will stick to your hands; rest for at least 15 minutes. Allergens: contains eggs, milk and dairy products. Additional allergen check: check the product label for gluten in the flour. Ingredients may vary by product.

Harcı 15 dakika dinlendirdim ama yine de elime yapıştı, şekillendirmek epey uğraştırdı. Belki benim patatesim daha sulu bir cinsti, bir dahaki sefere unu biraz artırırım.

Kırmızı toz biber bulamadığım için pul biberin çok azıyla yaptım, çocuklarım acı fark etmedi bile. Airfryer'da 20 dakika tam kıvamında pişti, dışı çıtır içi yumuşak oldu.
