Crispy Potato Fritters

🥔 Crispy Potato Fritters (Mücver / Latkes style)

Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes (peeled and grated)

• 2 eggs

• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 2 green onions (finely chopped)

• 1/2 cup feta cheese or white cheese (crumbled)

• 1 tsp salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes

• Oil for shallow frying

Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.

2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, flour, green onions, cheese, and spices. Mix well until everything is bound together.

3. Fry: Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly into patties.

4. Crisp Up: Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5. Serve: Pair immediately with a cool garlic yogurt dip garnished with herbs and chili flakes.
