Best 20 Potato Fritters Recipes

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a shallow pan, heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• Score sweet potato with a fork and microwave on high for 6 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool. Cut sweet potato in half, scoop out the flesh, and place it into a mixing bowl with the butter. Mash well. Add egg, bread crumbs, flour, salt, and pepper and mix well. Add the chives and corn and mix gently. Using 2 spoons to shape, scoop mounds into hot oil, cooking on both sides, in batches, until golden brown. With a slotted spoon or spider, remove fritters from oil and place on paper towel to dry. Mix sour cream, reserved chives, salt and pepper, to taste, and place a small dollop on each fritter when ready to serve.

BONDA OR BATATA VADA (SPICED POTATO BALL FRITTERS)

Steps:

• Peel the cooked and cooled potatoes and crush them. You are aiming for a very coarse version of mashed potatoes.
• Put the 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium, preferably nonstick frying pan and set over medium heat. When hot, add the asafetida. A second later, add the mustard seeds. As soon as they pop, a matter of seconds, add the onions, ginger, green chilies, cumin, and fresh cilantro. Stir for a minute. Add the crushed potatoes, lime juice, and salt. Turn the heat to low and mix all the ingredients well. Taste for balance of flavors and make adjustments, if needed. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then make 16 balls, each about 1- inches in diameter. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Combine all the ingredients for the batter in a bowl. Slowly add water, about 2 tablespoons less than 1 cup, mixing and breaking up any lumps as you go. You should have a thick but flowing batter.
• Put a 2 inch depth of oil in a deep frying pan, wok, or karhai and set over medium-low heat. Give it time to get hot.
• Dip a potato ball in the batter, making sure it is well covered. Carefully lower it into the hot oil. Do this rapidly with half the balls. Fry, turning frequently for 5-6 minutes or until the outside batter looks crisp. It should not turn dark. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Make a second batch the same way.
• Serve while still crisp and hot.

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F. Line an oven-proof plate or baking sheet with paper towels. Peel and grate the sweet potatoes and squeeze or press them dry if necessary; you want 3 packed cups; save the rest for later.
• Combine the grated sweet potato, flour, cornmeal, onion, egg, and sprinkle of salt and pepper and mix well with a fork. If the mixture looks too liquid, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. (You can make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate for up to a couple of hours before cooking.)
• Put 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of sweet potato into the pot. (Work in batches to avoid crowding the pot.)
• Cook turning them with tongs or a slotted spoon as necessary so they brown on all sides, until they're cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the finished fritters to the paper towel-lined plate and put it in the oven to keep warm while you make the rest. Serve hot or at room temperature, with more salt and pepper if you like.
• Cooks' Notes
• Drying Grated Vegetables: Put them into a strainer over a bowl or just squeeze them between your hands.
• Heating Oil for Deep Frying: To use a thermometer for deep frying, clip it on the side of the pot and make sure the tiny hole that registers the temperature isn't touching the pot. If you don't have a thermometer, use a pinch of cornmeal or flour to test when the oil is ready for frying: It should sizzle immediately but not burn.
• Putting the Fritters in the Oil: To minimize splattering, hold one spoon close to the oil and scrape the batter into the oil with another spoon.
• Recognizing Doneness: The fritters should be golden on the outside and soft but not wet in the middle. Check inside-you should still be able to tell the sweet potatoes were grated.

Steps:

• For the batter: Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, add the water, and mix with a spoon until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
• For the potato fritters: Roast the mustard seeds in a dry pan until they turn gray, become aromatic, and begin to pop. (This will happen quickly.)

Add the onions and cook 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and turmeric, remove from heat, and stir in the cilantro, serrano chile, salt, and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain and cool. Coarsely grate the potatoes and mix gently with the onion and spice mixture. Adjust seasoning.
• To form the fritters, press some mixture tightly between your palms into half dollar rounds. (They can be held in the refrigerator a few hours.)
• To cook: Heat the oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F. Dip the potato fritter rounds into the batter and drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes total. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with Mint and Cilantro Chutney and Yogurt Sauce for dipping. Fritters can be made early in the day and reheated.
• Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Turn out onto a board and chop until a paste is formed.
• Have ingredients measured and nearby before beginning. Heat the oil in a small skillet over high heat. Add the mustard seeds. (They will begin popping immediately so have a cover close at hand for escaping seeds.) Cook until popping stops.

I use a ¼ cup to measure out the pancakes. Flatten the pancakes with a fork. Fry until crispy on both sides, flipping them when edges turn brown. This depends on how high you have set the heat. Higher heat works better to avoid soggy and sad looking pancakes! Serve immediately.

POTATO AND SAGE FRITTERS

Steps:

• To make the sponge: In a small bowl, combine the water, flour and yeast. Mix well and set aside in a warm place until yeasty-smelling and covered in very small bubbles, about 45 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of sea salt. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes with a fork. Allow them to cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until thoroughly combined. In a bowl, combine cooled potatoes with the sponge, flour, sage, lemon zest, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Mix to evenly distribute the ingredients. Add the egg mixture to potato mixture, and stir until thoroughly combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. You should have a thick, sticky batter. Add a bit more flour, if needed. Cover the bowl with a towel and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon of the risen batter at a time, and use another spoon to scrape it into the hot oil. Don't crowd the fryer. Fry fritters until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, turning them over occasionally. Drain the fritters on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Sprinkle with sat and serve warm.
• Entertaining Tip: You can fry up a couple of batches of these an hour before your guests arrive and simply heat them again in a 300F oven before serving. Or keep warm in a 250F oven after making them. The fritters are great alone but they are equally great with a couple of dipping sauces.
