My aunt brought these to the Fourth of July cookout and the whole neighborhood kept asking for the recipe.

These Oven Baked Crispy Potato Lollipops turn simple mashed potatoes into a fun, bite-sized snack with a golden, crunchy exterior and a soft, fluffy center. Built on skewers for easy dipping and serving, they make a playful appetizer or side dish that both kids and adults will love.

Oven Baked 3-Ingredients Crispy Potato Lollipops

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If using wooden sticks, soak them in water for 15 minutes before baking.

2. Boil and mash: Boil the potato chunks in salted water until very tender (15 to 18 minutes). Drain thoroughly, then mash until smooth with no remaining lumps.

3. Form the dough: Stir the cornstarch and salt into the mashed potatoes until a soft, uniform dough comes together. Let sit for a few minutes if sticky so the starch absorbs the moisture.

4. Shape and skewer: Roll small portions into 1 1/2-inch balls. Insert a wooden stick into each, place on the prepared baking sheet, and press down lightly to flatten slightly for crispier edges.

5. Bake until crispy: Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully flip each lollipop over and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until golden, crisp on the outside, and set. Sprinkle with extra salt if desired and serve warm.
