Ingredients

For the Fritters:

  • 2 large potatoes (500g), peeled & grated
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tsp salt + ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (40g)
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander (7g), chopped
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Yogurt Sauce:

  • ½ cup plain yogurt (120g)
  • Juice of ½ lemon + 1 tsp zest
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • ½ cucumber, grated & drained
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp hot sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste


Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Potato Mixture

  1. Grate & Drain: Squeeze grated potatoes in a clean towel to remove excess starch and moisture (key for crispiness!).
  2. Mix: Combine potatoes, parsley, spring onions, spices, eggs, and cornstarch in a bowl.

2. Fry to Perfection

  1. Shape: Form small patties (4-5cm wide).
  2. Cook: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry fritters 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Pro Tip: Keep them warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven while frying batches.

3. Make the Yogurt Sauce

Stir together yogurt, lemon juice/zest, cucumber, garlic, herbs, and hot sauce. Drizzle with olive oil.


Serving Suggestions

  • Appetizer: Serve with sauce and lemon wedges.
  • Brunch: Top with a poached egg and avocado.
  • Kid-Friendly: Skip the hot sauce; serve with ketchup.

Expert Tips

  • Extra Crispy: Add 1 tbsp grated Parmesan to the batter.
  • Gluten-Free: Cornstarch works perfectly—no flour needed!
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; reheat in an air fryer.
