   Passaggio 3. Dry the potatoes

   5 min

   Drain all the water and spread the potatoes on a plate. Leave them uncovered for around 5 minutes so the excess moisture evaporates.

   Remove as much moisture as possible before mashing, as excess moisture can cause the balls to break apart while frying.
