Sometimes, simplicity brings out the best flavors. With just potatoes and cornstarch, you can create these delightful potato crackers that are perfect as a snack or a side dish. Here’s how to make them.

Ingredients

• 2 potatoes
• 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
• 1 cup cornstarch
• Vegetable oil, as needed

Instructions

1. Boil the Potatoes:
   • Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water until they are soft.
   • Drain and let them cool down.
   • Peel off the skins and mash the potatoes in a bowl until they become a smooth pulp. Pass them through a sieve for the smoothest possible consistency. Avoid mixing too much to prevent the mixture from becoming gluey.
2. Prepare the Dough:
   • Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the cornstarch to the mashed potatoes.
   • Combine to form a thick, non-sticky dough.
   • Knead the dough a bit more on a floured work surface and shape it into a roll.
3. Shape the Crackers:
   • Divide the roll into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a smaller roll.
   • Cut each small roll into 12 pieces and form each piece into a ball.
4. Create the Cracker Shape:
   • Coat the rosette of a lemon juicer with some vegetable oil.
   • Press each potato ball as hard as possible onto the oiled rosette to form a bowl with internal ribs.
   • Repeat with all the potato balls.
5. Fry the Crackers:
   • Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a pot or deep pan over medium heat.
   • Fry the prepared potato crackers in the oil until they are puffed and golden.
   • Alternatively, you can use an electric fryer.
6. Drain and Serve:
   • Use a slotted spoon to remove the crackers from the oil and place them in a bowl lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
   • Optionally, toss the crackers gently in a bowl with additional salt or serve them immediately with your favorite cold sauce.
