Tips and Advice
INSTRUCTIONS
Put the potatoes in a big bowl after peeling and grating them. Rinse well with water to get rid of extra starch.
To make sure the potatoes are as dry as possible, squeeze out any extra water.
Mix Things used:
Shred the potatoes and add the sliced garlic, chopped herbs, and chili flakes, if you want.
Add the semolina slowly to the mixture while stirring it to make sure it’s all mixed in well. Add salt to taste.
Get the fritters ready:
Put a lot of vegetable oil in a pan and set it over medium-low heat.
To make the patties, mix the potatoes together, heat the oil, and then add the burgers to the pan.
Fry each patty for three to four minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Take the fritters out of the oil and let them drain on paper towels to get rid of the extra oil.
Serve the potato pancakes hot with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce to make them taste even better.
Advice from experts

Keeping up Make sure: It’s very important that your fritters have the right structure. If the mixture is still too wet after being mixed, add a little more flour to help soak up the extra water and make the patties stick together better.
Even When you’re cooking, try to make all the patties the same size so they cook evenly. Scoop the batter into a cookie cutter or a normal measuring cup before you shape it into patties.
Heat of the Oil: The oil needs to be hot enough before adding the burgers so that they don’t soak up too much oil and get mushy. Put a little bit of the mixture into the oil and see if it sizzles right away. If it does, the oil is ready.
Alternative Ways to Cook: You can also bake these fritters if you’d rather have less oil. Put them on a baking sheet that has been oiled and lightly coat them with oil. Bake them in an oven that has been warmed to 400°F (200°C) for about 15 to 20 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy.
Adding to the flavor: To make it cheesier, add finely grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese to the mix. To make it more Mediterranean, add finely chopped olives or capers.
Ideas for Serving
Snacking on the Go: Potato fritters are a great snack for family get-togethers or game nights. Offer a range of dips, like ketchup, mustard, or a hot salsa, so your guests can pick their favorite.
Formal Dinners: Serve the fritters as a side dish with roast beef, fish that has been grilled, or a meatless stew at more formal dinners. They give meals a nice crunch and earthy flavor that goes well with stronger foods.
Menu for Kids: Simple, tasty foods are often what kids like. Younger people will like these fritters more if you serve them with homemade apple sauce or a mild creamy dip.
Events Outside: It’s easy to bring potato fritters to picnics or parties outside because they can be eaten at room temperature or even cold. Put them in a cooler and bring them to a picnic.
The herbs and spices can be changed to fit different types of food. Add curry powder and serve with raita for an Indian taste. Add some dried oregano for a Greek touch and serve with tzatziki.
