Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will help the fritters become crispier.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated mozzarella cheese, and finely chopped fresh thyme. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- Sprinkle the self-raising flour over the potato mixture. Toss to coat the potatoes and cheese evenly with the flour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture over the potato mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and a batter forms.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Once the pan is hot, spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan per fritter, spreading it out slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook only a few fritters at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters hot, garnished with extra thyme if desired. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, consider adding finely chopped chilli or red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- Make sure to grate the potatoes finely for a more uniform texture in your fritters.
- You can substitute the mozzarella with cheddar or another cheese of your choice for a different flavor profile.
- If the batter appears too thick, add a splash more milk to achieve the right consistency.
- Serve the fritters with a dipping sauce like sour cream, yogurt dip, or a tangy chutney for added flavor.
- Ensure your frying pan and oil are hot enough before adding the batter to achieve a perfectly crispy crust.
These chilli, cheese, and potato fritters are a delightful combination of textures and flavors that will leave you and your guests craving more. The crispy exterior gives way to a soft, cheesy interior, making every bite a perfect blend of savory deliciousness. Serve them hot and enjoy the compliments that are sure to follow.
