Crispy Potato and Onion Fritters These crispy potato and onion fritters are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, perfect for breakfast or a savory snack. Ingredients: - 4 large russet potatoes - 1 medium onion - 2 eggs - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste - 1 teaspoon pepper or to taste - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying Instructions: 1. Prep the veggies: Peel and cube the potatoes, then chop the onion. You can use a food processor for convenience or grate them using a box grater. 2. Strain and squeeze: Transfer the potato and onion mixture into a fine strainer or a kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as you can into a bowl. Discard the liquid but retain the white potato starch that settles at the bottom. 3. Mix it all up: Add the squeezed potato and onion mixture back into the bowl with the starch. Incorporate the eggs, flour, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined. 4. Fry them up: Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spoon portions of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn crispy and golden brown. 5. Serve and enjoy: Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve them hot and enjoy the crunch!
