Ingredients:
For the Potato Patties:
- 3 potatoes
- 5-6 tablespoons potato starch
- Optional: Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- Chopped parsley
- Salt (to taste)
- Sunflower oil (for frying)
For the American Ranch Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- Chopped parsley
- Bunch of spring onions, chopped
- Bunch of dill, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Lemon juice (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
- Grate and Squeeze: Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. For that delightful ASMR sound, use a firm hand while grating. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
- Flavor Up!: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, potato starch, chopped parsley, and salt. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, this is the time to add it in! Mix everything well until evenly incorporated.
- Crispy Perfection: Heat up your sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat. As the oil sizzles (another great ASMR sound!), form the potato mixture into small, flat patties. Gently place the patties in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to listen for those satisfying crackles as the patties cook!
- Drain and Enjoy: Once cooked through, remove the potato patties from the skillet and drain any excess oil on paper towels.
- Ranch Dressing Delight: While the patties cook, prepare the American Ranch sauce. In a separate bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: sour cream, chopped parsley, chopped spring onions, chopped dill, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy.
- Dipping Heaven: Plate your crispy potato patties and serve them alongside the cool and refreshing American Ranch sauce for dipping.
