Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Peel the potatoes and onion and grate both straight into the water to limit browning.
  2. Drain well, wrap the grated mixture in a clean towel or cheesecloth and twist tightly to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. Mix the squeezed mixture with the beaten eggs, flour (or breadcrumbs), salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
  4. Heat a generous layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the oil, flatten slightly, and fry about 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
  6. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle lightly with salt and serve hot.
