Potato Fritters: You’ll Really Love This Recipe

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Full list of ingredients, their amounts, and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

Step 1:

Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor with a grating plate.

Note: I leave the skin on the potatoes. They’re grated so finely you’ll never notice it and I say why do all the extra work just for less nutrition?! However, you can peel the potatoes if you’d like.

Step 2:

Place the grated potatoes in a bowl with cold water and soak for 10 minutes.

Step 3:

Drain and rinse the potatoes (I use a fine mesh strainer for this).

Then, transfer them to a kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out all of the excess moisture.

Step 4:

Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet or cast iron pan.

Step 5:

In a bowl, whisk together the four, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 6:

Mix in the milk, egg, and melted butter.

Step 7:

Mix in the drained potatoes and sliced green onions.

Step 8:

Scoop a scant ¼ cup of fritter batter and pour it into the hot oil. Using a fork, spread out the fritter to create a flat round shape. Make 3 to 4 fritters at a time, avoiding overcrowding the pan.

Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side then transfer them to a wire rack on a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate. Continue until all of the batter is gone. It should make 9 to 10 fritters.

Step 9:

Serve warm with cool sour cream, yogurt, or ranch. I also like to sprinkle them with extra green onion slices.
