30g butter, melted
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 litre vegetable oil

2. Place grated potato, parmesan, mustard, garlic, paprika, dried herbs, flour, salt, pepper and melted butter together in a large mixing bowl, stirring to combine.
3. Using a tablespoon as a measure, shape half spoonfuls of potato mixture into oval shaped balls. Roll each ball in panko breadcrumbs until well coated. Place on a tray until required.

Repeat process with remaining gems.
5. Combine the sour cream, chilli and coriander together in a small serving bowl.
