These golden, crispy potato fritters are perfectly tender inside and so tasty too. Easy to make, they’re great as a breakfast, side dish or appetiser.
Ingredients
3 medium potatoes (total ~650g)
1 medium brown onion
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 whole eggs
¼ cup plain flour (
1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Grate potatoes into a colander over a large bowl. Finely slice and dice the onion and add to the potatoes. Add ½ teaspoon of salt and mix well.
Let it sit for 10 minutes for excess moisture to come out. Rinse well with running water, then transfer to a tea towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
Place the potato and onions into a clean, dry mixing bowl. Add the garlic, eggs, flour, salt and pepper.
Heat half the oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
Add packed ¼ cup scoops of the potato mixture to the pan, then gently press down to flatten slightly. Cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook on the other side.
Repeat with remaining fritter mixture. If liquid pools in the bottom, leave it, don’t mix it in.
