Ingredients

  • 470 g potato (red or yellow)
  • 30 g melted butter (or non-dairy butter alternative)
  • 75 g shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese mixture (or your cheese of choice)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Sriracha sauce for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 365°F (185°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the potatoes and shred them using a hand grater or a food processor. Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Drain thoroughly, squeezing out any remaining moisture with your hands or using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, melted butter, shredded cheese mixture, salt, and ground black pepper. Gently mix until well combined.
  4. Take portions of the potato mixture and shape them into small rounds. Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes or until the potato rounds are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Serve the cheesy potato bites hot, accompanied by your favorite sauce or a tangy sriracha sauce for an extra kick of flavor.
