Today’s Tasty Pick: Crispy Cubed Potato & Herb bites

Happy Friday, my beautiful Fam!

We made it through another week — and I’m genuinely so proud of us for that.

Before anything else, can I check in with you for a moment?

How are you doing — emotionally and mentally?

I’m not just asking to fill a sentence… I’m asking because I care. Your heart, your mind, your little wins, your quiet struggles — they all matter here.

Was this a productive week for you? Did you hit a goal, even a tiny one? Maybe you tried something new that scared you a little? Or maybe this week was heavy, messy, or just “meh” — and that’s okay too. However your days unfolded, I’m grateful you are here. We celebrate the small things, the slow steps, and the simply-getting-through-it moments.

Now… with all that love and gentleness in mind, let’s ask ourselves:
How can we thank ourselves today?
What’s one small, delicious way we can show appreciation for just being human and getting through the week?

Well, Fam, I have got an idea — and it’s warm, crispy, and comforting: Crispy Cubed Potato & Herb Bites.

I know, I know… not everyone is a potato fan, but trust me — you might want to give this one a try.

If you are ready, Fam… let’s dive in:

How to make Crispy cubed potato & herb bites

Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon flour (any type)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley, coriander, or spring onion)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Oil for shallow frying

Optional:

• A pinch of paprika or chilli flakes for a little kick
• Grated cheese for extra flavour

Method:

1. Prep the Potatoes: Boil the cubed potatoes for about 5 minutes — just until slightly soft but not mushy. Drain and let them cool a bit.
2. Mix It All Together: In a bowl, gently mix the potatoes with flour, egg, herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cubes are lightly coated and hold together when pressed.
3. Shape & Cook: Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Scoop small spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten them slightly. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
4. Serve & Enjoy: Drain on a paper towel, sprinkle a touch of salt, and serve warm with your favourite dip — like garlic mayo or tomato sauce.
   
   Asanda’s touch:
   *For a little twist, toss the cooked bites in a touch of honey and chilli flakes after frying for a sweet-and-spicy finish.
