Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes, grated
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 pepper, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Chives, chopped (optional)
- 3 eggs
- 300 ml milk
- 200 g wholemeal flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the potatoes and carrot, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. Chop the onion and pepper finely.
-
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Stir in the grated vegetables, chopped chives, salt, and any additional seasonings.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wholemeal flour and baking powder to the mixture, stirring until well combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
-
Cook the Patties: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Spoon the batter onto the pan, forming small rounds. Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the pan and let them rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Texture Tip: Removing excess moisture from the potatoes helps achieve a crispier result.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven for the best texture.
- Customization: Feel free to add cheese, herbs, or even cooked meat for extra flavor.
- Baking Alternative: If you prefer a healthier option, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
