Potato Nuggets
Golden crispy potato nuggets made with creamy mashed potatoes, herbs and breadcrumbs for an easy bite-sized snack.
Potato Nuggets are bite-sized snacks with a crisp breadcrumb coating and a soft, savory potato center. Mashed potatoes are seasoned with garlic, herbs and black pepper, shaped into small nuggets and fried or shallow-fried until golden. They are ideal for parties, children's snacks or casual evenings and pair well with ketchup, mustard or yogurt dip. Chilling the shaped nuggets briefly before cooking helps them stay firm and gives the coating time to adhere.
