“Lángos is a Hungarian fry bread and street food staple. It has become a popular mid-afternoon snack in our home and is perfect for when you have leftover mashed potatoes that need using up!”

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in the warm milk. Stir in yeast and set aside to bloom.
 

Step 2

Meanwhile, add warm mashed potatoes, flour and salt to a large bowl. Once combined, stir in bloomed yeast mixture. Add oil and begin to knead.
 

Step 3

Knead dough for 4-5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
 

Step 4

Transfer back to the large bowl and cover. Let rise for about 40 minutes, until doubled in size.
 

Step 5

Once doubled, divide dough into 8. Roll out into 8 balls. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.
 

Step 6

Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large frying pan to medium heat.
 

Step 7

Flatten each ball and fry Lángos for about 2 minutes each side or until golden, then flip.
 

Step 8

Remove from the pan and rub with raw garlic and season with salt.
 

Step 9

Let cool on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
 

Step 10

Repeat with remaining Lángos.
 

Step 11

Once cooled, to serve, top with sour cream, grated cheese, chives and paprika.
