Potato Fritters
A quick, easy and VERY tasty Potato Fritters recipe
Ingredients
- 2 white potatoes medium size
- 2 sweet potatoes medium size
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Makes: 4inch round
Instructions
- Rinse off the white potatoes (don't peel them) and cut them into 1-1/2 or 2 inch chunks . Don't cut up or peel the sweet potatoes. Just poke some holes in them. Put all the potatoes into a microwave safe bowl and zap them until they are soft enough to squash with your fingers. Six to ten minutes depending on the size of your chunks and your microwave oven.
- Put the white potato chunks in a mixing bowl and using 2 table knives or a whisk break them up into small pieces. Then cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh out of the skin and into the bowl. Put a skillet on at medium high and swirl in just enough olive oil to coat the bottom.
- Add the butter, cheese, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mash and whisk it all together with a large whisk or your hand held electric mixer. When the butter has melted and it's all mixed together hand shape them into 3 - 6 fritters and add them to the skillet.
- About 3-4 minutes a side. After you turn them over flatten them just a little with your flipper. Then when they are warmed up and have got a little crust serve them up and enjoy them. Our friends and family really like them and I bet that you will too.
- An added note: When you want to make a bigger batch preheat the oven at 400F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and using a ice cream scoop or a tablespoon put the scoops of potato mix on the cookie sheet and into the oven for about 10 minutes..
