Ingredients

• 3 large potatoes
• 4 ounces prosciutto, finely diced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash them with a fork or potato masher.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, diced prosciutto, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add the flour and beaten eggs to the potato mixture. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Take spoonfuls of the potato mixture and shape them into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
5. Carefully place the potato balls into the hot oil and fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Serve the Polpette di Patate Fritte hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or aioli.
