This Golden Potato Snack Is Crispy Outside Soft Chewy Inside

Golden outside, soft and chewy inside potato lovers, this one’s for us.

Okay, I’ll say it proudly: I am the potato god.

If there’s a potato at home, I *will* turn it into something good.

These hash browns are exactly how I love them crispy, golden crust on the outside, and soft, chewy mashed potato inside.

Simple ingredients, no drama, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or “I’m hungry but don’t want to think” moments.

Ingredients

Potatoes

Pepper salt (or salt + black pepper)

Starch (cornstarch or potato starch)

Oil for frying

That’s it. Potatoes doing potato things.

Step-by-Step (Follow Along Easily)

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and slice them evenly.

Try not to cut them too thick so they steam evenly.

Step 2: Steam Until Soft

Steam the potato slices for about 30 minutes, until fully cooked.

They should be soft enough to mash easily with a fork.

Step 3: Season & Mash

Add pepper salt to the hot potatoes.

Mash everything until smooth no big chunks.

This is where it starts smelling really good.

Step 4: Add Starch & Knead

Add some starch and knead until it comes together into a soft dough.

You want it:

Smooth

Not sticky

Easy to shape

If it feels too wet, add a little more starch.

Step 5: Shape the Hash Browns

Roll the mashed potato dough into small balls.

Gently press them flat.

Use a fork to press down and create a flower or criss-cross pattern.

Not just cute it helps make them extra crispy.

Step 6: Fry

Heat oil over medium heat.

Once the oil starts to bubble, carefully add the hash browns.

Fry over medium–low heat until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7: Serve Hot

Take them out and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot and crispy plain or with ketchup, chili sauce, or whatever you love.

Qna For Recipes

Q: What type of potatoes are best for these hash browns?

A: Any starchy or all-purpose potatoes work great. They mash easily and give that soft, chewy center with a crispy crust.

Q: Why do the potatoes need to be steamed instead of boiled?

A: Steaming keeps the potatoes from absorbing too much water, which helps the dough stay firm and easier to shape.

Q: How much starch should I add?

A: Start with a small amount and add gradually until the dough feels smooth, not sticky, and easy to shape. Too much starch can make them dry.

Q: Can I use potato starch instead of cornstarch?

A: Yes! Both work well. Potato starch gives a slightly chewier texture, while cornstarch makes the outside crispier.

Q: Why fry on medium–low heat instead of high heat?

A: Medium–low heat lets the inside warm through and stay soft while the outside turns golden and crispy without burning.

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?

A: Yes. You can shape them in advance and keep them in the fridge. Fry them fresh for the best texture.

Q: How do I keep the hash browns crispy after frying?

A: Drain them on paper towels and avoid stacking while hot. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.

Final Potato Thoughts

Crispy outside.

Soft and chewy inside.

Simple, comforting, and impossible to stop eating.

If you love potatoes, this recipe is non-negotiable.

Once you try it, you’ll understand why I call myself the potato god

Crispy Outside Soft Inside Potato Cookies Homemade

(A Potato Lover’s Dream Come True)

I swear, potatoes never stop surprising me.

Just when I thought I’d tried every possible way to cook them… this happened.

These potato cookies are crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, with a rich buttery aroma that fills the kitchen while baking. I made them for afternoon tea, and somehow they disappeared before the show even reached episode two.

If you’re a potato lover like me this one is pure happiness.

Why I Love This Recipe

Simple ingredients, no fancy tools

Naturally soft inside, no eggs needed

Perfect for afternoon tea or movie snacks

Cute enough to impress, easy enough for busy days

Ingredients

Potatoes

A pinch of salt

Black pepper (to taste)

2 small cubes of butter

That’s it. Simple, honest, comforting.

Step-by-Step (Easy to Follow)

Step 1: Steam the Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and slice them evenly.

Steam until completely soft you should be able to mash them easily with a fork.

Step 2: Season & Mash

While the potatoes are still hot, add:

A pinch of salt

Some black pepper

Two pieces of butter

Mash everything until it turns into a smooth potato mash.

The butter will melt and smell amazing at this stage.

Step 3: Sieve for Extra Smoothness

This step is optional, but I highly recommend it.

Press the mashed potatoes through a sieve once.

It makes the texture much smoother and the cookies more delicate.

Step 4: Pipe the Cookies

Transfer the potato dough into a piping bag.

Pipe onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Don’t worry about perfection

rustic shapes are part of the charm 💛

Get creative with swirls, flowers, or simple rounds.

Step 5: Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at:

180°C / 350°F

20–25 minutes

Bake until the edges turn golden and crispy.

Step 6: Enjoy

Let them cool slightly before eating.

The outside will be crisp, the inside soft and chewy, with a rich buttery flavor.

Perfect with tea, coffee, or just straight off the tray while standing in the kitchen (mom habit 😅).

QNA For Recipes

Q: What kind of potatoes work best for this recipe?
A: Starchy potatoes like russet or all-purpose potatoes work best. They mash easily and give a soft, fluffy texture inside.

Q: Do I need eggs or flour to make these potato cookies?
A: No. This recipe doesn’t use eggs or flour. The potatoes themselves create the soft, chewy texture.

Q: Why should I sieve the mashed potatoes?
A: Sieving removes lumps and makes the dough extra smooth, which helps the cookies bake more evenly and feel softer inside. It’s optional, but highly recommended.

Q: Can I shape the cookies without a piping bag?
A: Yes. You can use a zip-top bag with the corner cut off or simply spoon and shape them by hand. They don’t need to look perfect.

Q: How do I know when the potato cookies are done baking?
A: They’re ready when the edges turn golden and slightly crispy, while the center stays soft. This usually takes about 20–25 minutes at 180°C (350°F).

Final Thoughts 🍪

These potato cookies are:

Crispy

Soft

Buttery

And completely addictive

If you have potatoes sitting around at home, please try this.

It’s one of those small, cozy recipes that makes an ordinary day feel special.

Slice 'n' Savor: The Ultimate Guide to Making Pizza Crescent Rolls!

Food Snack For Parties

Hey there, fellow food lovers! Today we're going to make some seriously impressive Pizza Crescent Rolls. Think of it as your own little mini pizza, ready to be stuffed with whatever you've got on hand. So let's get started!

Here's your shopping list:

- 1 package of pre-made crescent rolls

- Any kind of pizza filling you fancy (like pepperoni, sausage, or even veggie options)

- Cheese, your choice (mozzarella, provolone, or even cheddar)

- Sauce of choice (tomato, marinara, or BBQ)

- Some extra toppings like olives, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms

- Grated Parmesan cheese for a final sprinkle

Now, let's break down the steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Before we start, make sure your oven is preheated to 375°F (190°C). We want it nice and warm for when we're ready to bake.

2. Unwrap the Rolls: Take the crescent rolls out of their packaging and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes. This makes it easier to work with them later.

3. Spread the Sauce: Open up the package of pizza filling and spread a layer of sauce on one side of each crescent roll. Make sure to cover the entire surface.

4. Layer the Goodness: Next, top the sauce with a layer of cheese. Then, add your chosen pizza filling. You can also mix in some slices of olives or bell peppers for extra flavor.

5. Close 'Em Up Fold the crescent roll in half, like a burrito, and seal the edges with a fork. You'll have your mini pizzas ready to go!

6. Bake 'Em Up Place the pizza crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.

7. Sprinkle and Serve: Once they're done, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and let them cool for a minute before serving. These are best enjoyed straight out of the oven!

And there you have it! A quick and easy way to enjoy a slice of home-style pizza without the hassle of making the whole thing from scratch. Plus, with the convenience of pre-made crescent rolls, you can throw together these Pizza Crescent Rolls whenever you feel like a snack.

Next time you're hosting a Super Bowl party, consider making these for a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Or maybe you'll find yourself reaching for another one after dinner—they're just that irresistible!

Keep those cakes coming, and until next time, happy cooking!

- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Dough

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you're using store-bought pizza dough, follow the instructions on the package for any necessary rising or thawing. If you prefer homemade dough, prepare it according to your favorite recipe. Once the dough is ready, roll it out into a rectangular shape on a lightly floured surface.

Step 2: Adding the Cheese Filling

Place the mozzarella cheese sticks or shredded mozzarella along the length of the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, sealing it well. Press the seams together to secure the filling inside.

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide. Twist each strip gently to create a spiral effect. Place the twisted breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them to allow for rising.

Step 5: Baking the Breadsticks

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the breadsticks for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.

Step 6: Adding the Finishing Touches

While the breadsticks are baking, prepare the topping by combining the melted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt in a small bowl. Stir well to combine. Once the breadsticks are baked, remove them from the oven and brush the topping mixture over them. For an extra touch, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired.

Step 7: Serving and Enjoying

Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving, as the melted cheese filling will be hot. Arrange them on a serving pl

atter or alongside your favorite dipping sauces. These cheese-stuffed breadsticks are perfect as an appetizer, a party snack, or even a side dish to accompany a delicious pasta dinner.

Voilà! You've just created a batch of irresistible Easy Cheese-Stuffed Breadsticks that are sure to impress your family and friends.
