Discover a delightful way to enjoy eggs and potatoes with this recipe for crispy fritters. Combining the comforting flavors of mashed potatoes with the hearty addition of hard-boiled eggs, these fritters are perfect for a savory snack or a unique side dish. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients You’ll Need
1 kg of potatoes, the base of your fritters
Salt and pepper for seasoning
A handful of parsley, finely chopped for a fresh twist
4 hard-boiled eggs, the star ingredient
3 raw eggs, beaten, for binding
Bread crumbs for that perfect crunch
Oil for frying, ensuring a golden finish
Step-by-Step Preparation:
Boil the Potatoes: Start by boiling your potatoes in water for about 30 minutes or until they are soft and tender.
Mash and Season: Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a bowl. Mash them up and season with salt, pepper, and the freshly chopped parsley. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Prepare the Eggs: Cut the hard-boiled eggs into quarters. These will be the hidden surprise in your fritters.
Shape the Fritters: Take a portion of the potato mixture and form it into a ball. Flatten it slightly with your hand, place a piece of hard-boiled egg in the center, and then enclose the egg with the potato mixture, shaping it into a fritter.
Coat with Egg and Breadcrumbs: Dip each fritter into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Then, roll it in the breadcrumbs for that essential crispy coating.
Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a pan and fry the fritters until they’re golden brown on both sides. They should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
