Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 12 -15 patties
Course: Snack
Cuisine: Comfort Food

Ingredients
  

  • 350 g potatoes peeled and grated
  • 150 g carrots peeled and grated
  • 20 g 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
