Anweisungen
Boil and Mash
1. Boil the potatoesFill a pot with salted water and bring to a boil.Add potatoes and cook until fork‑tender, about 12–15 minutes.Drain well and return potatoes to the hot pot for 1–2 minutes to steam off excess moisture.
Mix Ingredients

Shape Balls
3. Form the ballsScoop about 2 tbsp of potato mixture and roll into a compact ball.Repeat until all of the mixture is used (you’ll have roughly 12–14 balls).
Heat Oil
4. Fry until goldenIn a deep skillet or pot, heat 2–3 inches of neutral oil to 170 °C (350 °F).Carefully lower potato balls into the oil in batches, taking care not to overcrowd.Fry for 7–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly golden and crispy.Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper‑towel–lined plate; season lightly with salt while still hot.
Fry
5. Make the dipping sauceIn a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Sriracha until smooth and well combined. Adjust the ratio to taste—more mayo for creaminess, more Sriracha for heat.
6. ServeArrange potato balls on a platter.Grate fresh Parmesan over the top, sprinkle with extra parsley, and serve immediately alongside the Sriracha mayo.
