Potato Fritters Recipe
Savor the crispy outside and fluffy inside of these Potato Fritters, a versatile recipe that’s perfect as a snack, side dish, or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Medium Potatoes (approximately 650g or 1 ½ lb)
- 1 Medium Brown Onion
- 1 Large Garlic Clove, Minced
- 2 Whole Eggs
- ¼ Cup of Plain Flour (All-purpose Flour Recommended)
- 1 ½ Teaspoons of Fine Sea Salt
- ½ Teaspoon of Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Tip: For accuracy, weigh the ingredients if possible)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to a warming temperature (70C/160F).
- Grate the potatoes using the coarse side of a box grater into a colander placed over a bowl. Peel, quarter, and finely slice the onion, adding it to the potatoes with ½ teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Rinse thoroughly, then squeeze out the liquid using a tea towel or cheesecloth.
- Transfer the potato and onion mix to a clean bowl. Add garlic, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
- Heat half the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop ¼ cup portions of the mixture into the pan, flattening slightly. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
- Keep the cooked fritters warm in the oven while repeating the process with the remaining mixture.
- Note: If any liquid accumulates at the bottom of the bowl, avoid mixing it back in.
Notes
- Customize your fritters by adding up to ½ cup of grated cheddar cheese, corn, peas, or even a small zucchini (grated with the potatoes).
- For a savory twist, include ham, bacon, or fresh herbs.
Equipment Needed:
- A Large Non-stick Frying Pan or Skillet
