Ingredients
Scale
- 350g potatoes, peeled and grated
- 150g carrots, peeled and grated
- 20g green onions, finely chopped
- 1/5 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt (plus 1/2 tsp for initial mixing)
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp wheat flour
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Grate the potatoes and carrots into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. This will help the patties crisp up nicely when frying.
- Mix the ingredients: Add the grated carrots and potatoes to a large bowl, along with the chopped green onions. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Add the eggs, cornstarch, and wheat flour to the bowl and mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form the patties: Using your hands, form small patties from the mixture. You can make them as small or as large as you prefer, but aim for about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture per patty.
- Fry the patties: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the patties on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and serve: Remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
Notes
- For a lighter version of this recipe, you can bake the patties instead of frying them. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- You can customize these patties by adding other vegetables such as zucchini, peas, or bell peppers for added flavor and nutrients.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute the wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend or rice flour.
