Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes Peeled and grated
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 cup sour cream For mixing and for serving
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- to taste Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture.
Mixing
- In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, grated cheese, sour cream, flour, chopped onions, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix everything until well combined.
Shaping
- Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into small patties or balls, about 2 inches in diameter. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few of the potato shapes into the skillet. Fry them in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving
- Serve your savory potato snacks warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Don’t skip drying the potatoes for a crispy texture. Adjust seasoning based on personal taste.
