Sage Parmesan Crispy Potato Balls

These crispy potato balls seasoned with fresh sage, salty parmesan cheese, and served with a chipotle pumpkin aioli, make for an impressive game day recipe or holiday appetizer!

Ingredients you’ll need:

  • 4 Russet Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp. Kosher Salt
  • 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2-3 tbsp. Fresh Sage, chopped (or any fresh seasonal herbs)
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan
  • Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
  • Frying Oil

Can Crispy Potato Balls be Made in Advance?

They can be reheated on a wire rack at 400F for 8-10 minutes, until crispy again; however, they are the best texture when served immediately after frying!

Ingredients

For the Crispy Potato Balls:

  • 4 Russet Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp. Kosher Salt
  • 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2-3 tbsp. Fresh Sage chopped
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste
  • Frying Oil

For the Chipotle Pumpkin Aioli:

  • 3-4 Chipotles in Adobo Sauce finely chopped or blended
  • 1/2 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 cup Mayo
  • 1 tbsp. Honey
  • Juice of 1/2 Lime
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

For the Crispy Potato Balls:

  • Add the russet potatoes to a deep saucepan filled with hot water and the tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 20-30 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the water, cool to touch. The potato skin should easily peel off.
  • Mash the peeled potatoes in a bowl with a fork.
  • Add 1/2 cup flour, grated parmesan, and chopped sage. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Using 1-2 tablespoon mashed potato per serving, roll into tight balls. Place on a large baking pan or plate. Repeat with remaining potato mixture. Roll the potato balls in the remaining 1/4 cup flour, dusting off any excess.
  • Bring a deep pot filled with 2-3″ frying oil to 375F, or until oil is glistening.
  • Working in small batches, fry the potato balls for 1-2 minutes, until deeply golden on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon to place on a paper towel lined wire rack or plate.
  • Garnish with extra freshly grated parmesan to enjoy warm with the chipotle pumpkin aioli!

For the Chipotle Pumpkin Aioli:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well-incorporated. If desire, blend in a food processor so that the chipotles are smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
