Ingredients 🍴
- 2 cups shredded potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp flour
- Salt & black pepper
- Oil for frying
Detailed Procedure 👩🍳
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes 🥔
➡️ Peel and wash the potatoes very well.
➡️ Grate them using the large side of a grater.
➡️ Place the grated potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
➡️ This step is very important because dry potatoes make crispy patties.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients 🥣
➡️ Add the potatoes to a large bowl.
➡️ Add shredded cheese and chopped green onions.
➡️ Crack in the egg.
➡️ Sprinkle flour, salt, and black pepper.
➡️ Mix everything very well until the mixture sticks together.
Step 3: Shape the Patties ✋
➡️ Take a small amount of mixture in your hands.
➡️ Shape into thick finger-like rolls or oval patties.
➡️ Press gently so they stay firm and do not break while cooking.
Step 4: Heat the Pan 🔥
➡️ Add a little oil to a non-stick pan.
➡️ Heat over medium flame for 2 minutes.
➡️ The pan should be hot but not smoking.
Step 5: Fry the Patties 🧈
➡️ Carefully place the patties into the pan.
➡️ Do not overcrowd the pan.
➡️ Cook for about 4–5 minutes on one side until deep golden brown.
➡️ Flip gently using a spatula.
➡️ Cook the other side for another 4 minutes until crispy and fully cooked inside.
Step 6: Remove Extra Oil ✨
➡️ Place cooked patties on paper towels for 1 minute.
➡️ This helps remove extra oil and keeps them crispy.
Step 7: Serve Hot 🍽️
➡️ Serve warm with ketchup, yogurt dip, or garlic sauce.
➡️ Best enjoyed fresh and crispy.
