Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g hard mozzarella cheese
  • 3 large potatoes
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 onion
  • 1 carrot
  • A bunch of spring onions
  • 1/2 head of cabbage
  • 150 g bacon

Method
 

  1. Peel and grate the potatoes, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Finely chop the onion and spring onions. Grate the carrot and shred the cabbage.
  3. In a pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, sauté the onion, carrot, and cabbage until soft. Season with salt to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, sautéed vegetables, crumbled bacon, and shredded mozzarella. Mix well.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Form small patties or fritters from the mixture and place them in the hot oil.
  7. Fry for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve warm with fresh spring onions or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To make the fritters extra crispy, remove as much moisture as possible from the potatoes before mixing.
  • If the mixture feels too wet, add a tablespoon of flour to help bind the ingredients.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven to restore crispiness.
