Calories: 145kcal
Ingredients
- 2 and ½ pounds Potatoes ~5 Medium Potatoes
- 1 Medium Onion White, Yellow or Brown
- 2 Large Eggs
- ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Paprika
- ⅛ tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 4 Cloves Garlic Crushed
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Serving:
- 1 Recipe Garlic Dip or Sour Cream / Greek Yogurt
- Fresh Chopped Chives
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and onion and grate them in the food processor or by hand with a box grater.
- Place them in a big bowl of cold water and let them soak for a few minutes.
- Then drain and soak in fresh water for a few minutes more. The water should now be looking more clear and not as cloudy.
- Drain and squeeze out the excess liquids by placing the soaked onions and potatoes in a tea towel or cheesecloth and squeezing out the excess water.
- Place the potatoes and onions in a mixing bowl.
- Add eggs, all purpose flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, crushed garlic, salt and ground black pepper and mix into a batter.
- Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to measure out the batter and form it into fritter patties.
- Place them onto a baking tray.
- Heat up a skillet or frying pan with olive oil on medium heat and when hot, add 4 fritters into the hot oil. They should sizzle when they hit the pan. Don't over-crowd the pan.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Gently flatten the fritters with your spatula as you fry them.
- Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt or our garlic dip and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
Notes
- Storing and Reheating: Keep them stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. They can be reheated in the air fryer or oven. Heat the oven to 350°F and reheat for 5-10 minutes until heated through. Reheating them in the microwave also works but they won't stay as crispy.
- Freezing: They are freezer friendly for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and then reheat as usual.
- Nutritional information is for potato fritters only and excludes garlic dip or sour cream or anything else they may be served with.
