Potato Fritters

Potato Fritters

EverydayCooked

Potato fritters are a fried savory dish made from grated or mashed potatoes bound with ingredients like flour and eggs, then pan-fried or deep-fried until crispy. The exterior develops a golden crust while maintaining a soft, starchy interior, with flavor variations often incorporating herbs, onions, or spices. While providing energy-dense carbohydrates from potatoes, their nutritional profile varies significantly based on cooking method, typically containing moderate to high fat content from oil absorption during frying.
