Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Mash them in a large bowl and season with salt.
Add Flavors:
In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic, onion, and red pepper until soft and fragrant. Add this mixture to the mashed potatoes along with chopped parsley and grated cheese.
Form the Dough:
Mix in the cornstarch thoroughly to form a pliable dough. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more cornstarch.
Chill the Dough:
Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up.
Shape and Dust:
After chilling, take small portions of the dough and shape into patties or balls. Lightly dust each piece with flour to prevent sticking.
Fry Until Golden:
Heat oil in a pan and fry the potato pieces until golden and crispy on all sides. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Prepare the Cheese Sauce:
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the cheese, salt, and pepper, and cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Serve:
Plate the crispy potato bites and drizzle generously with the warm cheese sauce.
