Potato, Onion & Cheese Fritters

Ingredients

• 3 medium potatoes

• 1 onion, sliced or finely chopped

• 1 carrot, grated

• 5 cloves garlic, minced

• 100 g cheese, grated

• A bunch of spring onions, chopped

• 1 egg

• Salt, to taste

• 3 tbsp flour

• Sunflower oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the potatoes

   • Peel and grate the potatoes.

   • Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess liquid (this helps them crisp up).

2. Mix the batter

   • In a large bowl, combine grated potatoes, onion, carrot, garlic, cheese, spring onions, and salt.

   • Add the egg and flour, mixing until everything binds together into a thick batter.

3. Heat the oil

   • Pour sunflower oil into a frying pan (about ½ cm deep) and heat on medium.

4. Shape & fry

   • Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture, flatten slightly into patties, and place gently in the hot oil.

   • Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain & serve

   • Transfer fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

   • Serve hot with sour cream, yogurt dip, or even ketchup for a homestyle touch.
