Delicious Potato and Cheese Fritters

Directions

1. Prepare the Potatoes: After grating the potatoes, place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fritters.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, flour, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Form the Fritters: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Fry the Fritters: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the fritters in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.

Tips for Perfect Potato and Cheese Fritters

• Remove Excess Moisture: Squeezing out the excess moisture from the grated potatoes is essential for achieving crispy fritters. Don’t skip this step!
• Cheese Variety: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar adds a sharp flavor, while mozzarella provides a gooey, melty texture.
• Even Cooking: Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritters. This ensures they cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side.
