- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 25 min
- Makes: 1 serving (229 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
- Contains: egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 160 g Potatoes, floury
- 30 g Onion
- 3 g Parsley, fresh
- 15 g Egg
- 10 g Flour, plain
- 0.5 g Salt
- 0.1 g Black pepper
- 10 g Vegetable oil, for frying
Method
- Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Grate the onion too, or chop it very finely, and chop the parsley.
- Put the grated potatoes in a clean tea towel and twist it hard over the sink to squeeze out as much liquid as you can; dry potatoes make crisp fritters.
- Mix the potatoes, onion and parsley with the egg, flour, salt and pepper to a thick, sticky mixture that holds together on a spoon.
- Heat the oil about 1 cm deep in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, until a little of the mixture sizzles at once (about 175 °C).
- Drop in heaped tablespoons of the mixture, a few at a time, and flatten each into a small round about 1 cm thick. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, until deep golden and crisp at the edges.
- Drain on paper towel and keep them hot in a low oven while you fry the rest, stirring the mixture each time as liquid gathers in the bowl.
- Serve hot, as they are sold at the Schueberfouer fair in Luxembourg City, on their own or with apple sauce.
