Just Grate 3 Potatoes and Add 3 Eggs

Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 3 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp oil or butter for frying

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (Cheddar, Parmesan, or Mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions or parsley
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or paprika
  • Diced ham, bacon bits, or cooked vegetables

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes.
  2. Grate them using a box grater.
  3. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Removing the water helps achieve a crispy texture.

2. Mix the Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, salt, and pepper.
  2. Stir well to ensure the eggs coat the potatoes evenly.
  3. If you’re using any optional add-ins like cheese, herbs, or spices, mix them in now.

3. Cook the Potato Mixture

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add oil or butter.
  2. Spoon portions of the potato mixture onto the skillet, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
  3. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove the cooked patties or fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  2. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, sour cream, or a side salad.
