    INGREDIENTS:

    * 1 lb. Mini Gold Potatoes
    * 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
    * ½ tsp. Onion Powder
    * ¼ tsp. Salt
    * ½ tsp. Black Pepper
    * 1 cup Grated Pecorino Cheese, divided
    * 2 tbsp. + 2 tsp. Potato Starch
    * Vegetable Oil, for frying
    * 2 tbsp. Fresh Parsley, minced

    DIRECTIONS:

    1. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
    2. Add the potatoes to a large mixing bowl with the seasonings, ½ the pecorino, and potato starch. Mash until well combined.
    3. Shape the mashed potato mixture into smaller, quarter-sized balls. Repeat until you’ve used all of the mixture.
    4. Working in small batches, fry the potato balls in 350F vegetable oil for 4 – 5 minutes. Once browned, use a slotted spoon to remove and place them on a wire rack to drain for 3 – 4 minutes.
    5. Toss the potatoes with remaining pecorino and minced parsley. If needed, add more salt to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
