Crispy Potato Fry and Cake with Cookies Recipe in my Grandma's Village

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen potato cubes

Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Peel and grate the potatoes into a large bowl.

Finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl with the potatoes.

Mix in flour, baking powder, and spices until well combined.

Add the egg and mix until the batter is smooth.

Fold in chopped parsley and green onions for freshness.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and carefully place them in the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

For the cake version, shape the mixture into patties and bake at 375°F until crispy, about 20 minutes.

Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.
