Mashed Potato Fritters Recipe

Introduction

Ingredients

• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, chopped green onions, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully blended.
2. Take a spoonful of the mixture and form it into a small ball. Flatten it slightly to form a patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
3. Pour the bread crumbs onto a plate and coat each patty with the bread crumbs.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
5. When the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
6. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

• Make sure the mashed potatoes are cold before you start making the fritters. This will make it easier to form the patties.
• If the mixture is too wet, add more flour. If it is too dry, add more mashed potatoes.
• Use a non-stick frying pan to prevent the fritters from sticking to the pan.
• Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the fritters in batches if necessary.
• You can add different ingredients to the mixture, such as bacon bits or diced ham, to give the fritters more flavor.
• Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
