Directions
Step 1: Boil the potatoes
Cook the potatoes until soft. Peel and mash them while hot to create a thick, smooth mash.
Step 2: Season the mash
- Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley. Add both to the mashed potatoes, along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Step 3: Wrap the shrimps
- Divide the mashed potatoes into 12 portions. Flatten each portion and wrap it around one shrimp, fully covering it.
Step 4: Double breading
- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip each shrimp-filled potato ball in egg, then breadcrumbs. Repeat the process for a double coating (egg → breadcrumbs → egg → breadcrumbs).
Step 5: Fry
- Heat “Maestro de Oliva” olive oil in a deep fryer or deep pan. Fry the potato-wrapped shrimps until golden and crispy on the outside.
Step 6: Serve
- Drain on paper towels and serve hot as a delicious appetizer or tapa.
