Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This will help the fritters stay crispy.
- Peel and finely chop the onion. You can also grate the onion if you prefer a finer texture.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and lightly beat it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, beaten egg, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold together.
- Take a small handful of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form all the fritters.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the fritters in the skillet. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them carefully to avoid breaking. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if needed for the second batch.
- Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the potato fritters warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. They make a great side dish or a tasty snack!
Tips:
- Grate the potatoes finely to ensure the fritters hold together well and cook evenly.
- Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
- If the mixture appears too wet, add a little more flour to help bind the ingredients together.
- Preheat the oil in the pan to ensure the fritters start cooking immediately, helping to form a crispy exterior.
- Cook the fritters in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to uneven cooking.
- For a flavor boost, consider adding chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, or chives to the mixture.
- Serve the fritters with a dipping sauce like sour cream, yogurt, or a spicy aioli for an extra layer of flavor.
Potato fritters with onion and herbs are versatile and flavorful, making them a great addition to any meal. Whether enjoyed alone or paired with a dipping sauce, these fritters are sure to be a hit. Remember to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the recipe to your taste. Happy cooking!
