INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥔 2 large russet potatoes, peeled
  • Fats / Oils

    • 🧈 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Spices / Seasonings

    • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
    • 🧂 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 🧀 ½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Generously brush the cups of a 24-cup mini muffin tin with melted butter and place the tin on a baking sheet.

3

Add cold water to a large bowl until 1/3 full. Grate potatoes into the bowl and fill it with more cold water until almost full.

4

Swish potatoes around with your hands to rinse off starch, then drain and refill the bowl with fresh water. Repeat until the water runs nearly clear.

5

Drain potatoes in a colander for a few minutes, then transfer to a clean towel and squeeze until no liquid comes out.

6

In a bowl, mix grated potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, flour, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.

7

Fill prepared muffin cups with the potato mixture, packing it tightly. Mixture can extend above the tin by 1/2 to 1 inch.

8

Bake in the center of the oven until golden brown, crispy, and caramelized (40 to 45 minutes).

9

Let cool for 5 minutes before removing poppers from the tin, then serve.
