Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
Directions
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, flour, beaten eggs, grated cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the potato puffs from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the potato puffs hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or sour cream and chives. Enjoy!
