Potato Crackers
  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water until they are soft.

  2. Drain and let them cool down.

  3. Peel off the skins and mash the potatoes in a bowl until they become a smooth pulp. Pass them through a sieve for the smoothest possible consistency. Avoid mixing too much to prevent the mixture from becoming gluey.

  4. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the cornstarch to the mashed potatoes.

  5. Combine to form a thick, non-sticky dough.

  6. Knead the dough a bit more on a floured work surface and shape it into a roll.

  7. Divide the roll into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a smaller roll.

  8. Cut each small roll into 12 pieces and form each piece into a ball.

  9. Coat the rosette of a lemon juicer with some vegetable oil.

  10. Press each potato ball as hard as possible onto the oiled rosette to form a bowl with internal ribs.

  11. Repeat with all the potato balls.

  12. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a pot or deep pan over medium heat.

  13. Fry the prepared potato crackers in the oil until they are puffed and golden.

  14. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crackers from the oil and place them in a bowl lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  15. Optionally, toss the crackers gently in a bowl with additional salt or serve them immediately with your favorite cold sauce.
