Crispy Potato Fritters Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 - 7 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled (about 2 pounds)
- 1 cup feta alternative
- ¼ cup cornmeal (plus 2 tbsp for rolling)
- 4 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened plant milk
- 3 tsp oregano
- 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or green onions (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Method:
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Mash or grate the boiled potatoes into a large bowl.
2. Mix the Fritter Batter
Add cheese alternative, cornmeal, flour, plant milk, spices, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape the Fritters
Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into tennis-ball-sized rounds. Flatten slightly into patties.
4. Coat for Crispiness
Place cornmeal in a shallow dish. Lightly coat each fritter in the cornmeal to help create a crispy exterior.
5. Fry the Fritters
Heat ¼ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the fritters in batches for 3-4 minutes per side or until crispy and golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
6. Drain & Serve
Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dip!
Serving Ideas
Fresh & Herby: Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions.
Perfect Dips: Serve with garlic aioli, dairy-free sour cream, or spicy ketchup.
Make It a Meal: Pair with a crisp spring salad or roasted vegetables.
