# Crispy Fried Mashed Potato Waffle Bites

These small potato bites cook in a waffle maker, where the hot plates press riced potato dough into ridged rounds that crisp on both sides at once, no frying pan needed. Boil 300 g (10.5 oz) cubed potatoes for about 20 minutes, then rice them while hot so the flour and softened butter blend in without lumps. A little dried chili gives gentle warmth; swap it for black pepper if you prefer a milder flavor. Roll the dough into 3 cm (1 in) balls and set about six in the preheated waffle maker. They are done when the ridges turn deep golden and the bites release cleanly from the plates.
