Boil the Potatoes:
Quarter the potatoes and add them to a pot of heavily salted water. Boil until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Mash & Season:
Mash the potatoes until smooth. Mix in salt, garlic powder, paprika, cornstarch, parmesan, and pepper until fully combined.

Make the Garlic Butter Paste:
In a pan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in the milk, then remove from heat. Add in the flour & mix with a wooden spoon until it forms a thick paste.

Combine:
Transfer the garlic butter dough into the mashed potatoes and mix until smooth.

Shape:
Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.

Fry to Perfection:
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato balls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.

Serve & Enjoy:
Serve immediately, sprinkled with chopped parsley & top with extra parmesan cheese while they’re still hot!These are next-level with sour cream and chive dip — you’re gonna love them! 😍
