How Do You Make Traditional Gromperekichelcher?

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Flaxseed meal is a great egg substitute for binding.

oil for frying

🥗Healthier: baking spray

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Baking spray reduces fat while still allowing for crispiness.

Peel and grate 4 large potatoes using a fine grater.

Finely grate 1 small onion and add it to the grated potatoes.

Place the grated potatoes and onion into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Transfer the dried potato and onion mixture to a bowl.

Add 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and season generously with salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.

Mix everything thoroughly until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Heat about 3 inches of neutral oil in a deep pan or pot to a temperature of 350°F.

Carefully drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon to form small, thin patties.

Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain oil temperature for crispiness.

Fry for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until deeply golden brown and cooked through, using tongs to flip them carefully.

Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve immediately to enjoy their ultimate crispness.
