Method
Preparation
- Peel the potatoes and carrots.
- Place the peeled potatoes in a pot filled with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes or until tender.
- Grate the carrot and bell pepper, and finely chop the spring onions.
- Once the potatoes are done, drain and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Mixing Ingredients
- Add the grated carrot, bell pepper, and spring onions to the mashed potatoes.
- Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then mix it into the potato mixture along with the salt and black pepper.
- Gradually add flour until reaching a medium dough consistency, adjusting with more flour if too wet.
Shaping Patties
- With slightly wet hands, form small patties from the mixture.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove fried patties and place them on absorbent paper to soak up excess oil.
Serving
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For added moisture, you can add a splash of water or an extra egg if the mixture feels too dry. Experiment with different vegetables for added flavor and nutrients. Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying for perfect texture.
