Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium potatoes peeled and grated
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon starch
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • Fresh parsley chopped (as desired)
  • 1 teaspoon Provençal herbs
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Place grated potatoes in a clean towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine potatoes, onion, egg, starch, flour, parsley, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Form the mixture into small patties with your hands or a spoon.
  5. Fry patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
  6. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to remove excess oil.
  7. Serve warm with sour cream, garlic yogurt sauce, or a light salad.

Notes

  • You can swap Provençal herbs with Italian seasoning or fresh thyme.
  • These patties freeze well! Flash-freeze cooked patties and reheat in a pan or oven.
  • Add shredded cheese or cooked spinach for variety.
  • Great for lunchboxes, meal prep, or using up leftover potatoes.
