Potato fritters
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- Cook:
- Easy
- Serves 4 (approx. 3 fritters each)
Ingredients
- 800g (3 large) potatoes, peeled
- 1 onion
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp soured cream
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- 4 eggs, fried
- 4 spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
Method
- STEP 1
Grate the potatoes and onion on a coarse box grater. Wrap in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in the flour and plenty seasoning. Stir in the egg.
- STEP 2
Heat a little of the oil in a large non stick frying pan. Use 2-3 tbsp of the mix per fritter and drop into the pan, cooking for 3-4 mins on each side over a medium-high heat, using a spatula to turn. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and continue with the remaining oil and mixture (it's best to cook in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan).
- STEP 3
Serve 3 fritters per person, each stack topped with the soured cream, avocado and a fried egg. Sprinkle over spring onions to serve.
