Ingredients

To make these irresistible Travesseirinhos de Batata Crocantes, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour

Full ingredient list with measurements is provided in the printable recipe card below.

How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making these crispy potato snacks!

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Start by boiling the cubed potatoes in salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Mash and Mix: In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape the Snacks: Take small portions of the potato mixture and shape them into small oval or round patties.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of the mixture in; it should sizzle.
  5. Fry the Patties: Carefully place the patties in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the patties from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Travesseirinhos de Batata Crocantes turn out perfectly every time:

  • If you want to make these ahead of time, you can prepare the patties and freeze them before frying. Just fry them straight from the freezer when you’re ready to enjoy!
  • For a healthier option, try baking them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

How to Serve

These crispy potato snacks are incredibly versatile! Here are some serving suggestions:

  • Pair them with a creamy garlic dip for a delicious contrast.

  • To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness.
  • If you’ve made a large batch, consider freezing them after frying. They can be stored in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Just fry them straight from the freezer when you’re ready to enjoy!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Cestinha de Carne Moída com Purê e Queijo turns out perfectly:

  • Feel free to customize the filling! You can add veggies like bell peppers or corn for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • If you love garlic, try adding a bit of garlic powder to the mashed potatoes for an extra kick.
  • For a fun twist, experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of cheeses can add depth to the flavor.
  • Make sure not to overfill the cups; they need space to cook evenly.
  • Check on them halfway through cooking to ensure they’re browning nicely.

How to Serve

These delightful Cestinhas are perfect for a cozy family dinner or as a fun appetizer for gatherings. Serve them with a side salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. They also pair wonderfully with a creamy garlic pasta for those nights when you want to indulge a little more. Just imagine the smiles on your family’s faces when they see this delicious spread!

Make Ahead and Storage

These Cestinhas also make great leftovers! Store any uneaten portions in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the Airfryer for a few minutes to get that crispy texture back.
