Fried clouds: ingredients and preparation
For this recipe, get:
- 300 grams of potatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 15 grams of sugar
- 20 grams of corn starch
- 20 grams of rice flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 grams of celery leaves
- seed oil for frying, to taste
Chop the celery leaves finely with the mezzaluna.
Peel the potatoes, then cut them into cubes. Place them in a saucepan, submerge them with water, place them on the stove and bring to the boil. Boil them for 15 minutes.
Drain them and transfer them to a bowl, then mash them with the prongs of a fork or with the special tool, you have to reduce them to a puree. Add the salt, sugar, rice flour, corn starch and baking powder. Finally, add the chopped celery leaves and mix thoroughly. You have to get a very compact compound. Now transfer everything into a food bag with a zip (about 18×25 cm) and roll out with a rolling pin. You have to get a rectangle, cut it with a knife to free it from the plastic, then cut it into strips, then into squares.
Now pour plenty of seed oil into a saucepan and bring it to the smoking point. Dip the squares, a few at a time and fry them turning them on each side. You will see them inflate dramatically. Drain them with a slotted spoon and pat them dry.
Serve them still hot and steaming. I am a marvel!
