Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 3 tbsp parsley and cilantro chopped
  • 3 tbsp onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • salt and pepper
  • flour for coating
  • oil for frying olive oil recommended

Instructions

  • Peel, chop and boil potatoes in lightly salted water until they are tender but still firm. Drain then mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork.
  • In a bowl, combine the eggs, parsley and cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, turmeric, and salt and pepper.
  • Mix well then add to the reserved potatoes. Stir well to make sure the potatoes have absorbed all the flavors.
  • Form 3” fritters and delicately toss them in flour so that they are lightly coated.  Carefully dust off any excess flour. 
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat about 2" of oil over medium high heat. Add the fritters in batches. Once golden, flip and cook until both sides until golden and crispy.
  • Drain on paper towels then enjoy!

Notes

No need to dip these fritters in eggs before coating them in the flour because they are moist enough to take on a light coating of the flour.
