🛒 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Mash the Potatoes
Place the boiled potatoes in a large bowl and mash until smooth.
Let them cool slightly before adding other ingredients.
2️⃣ Mix Eggs & Flour
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add flour to the mashed potatoes, mix well, then pour in the beaten eggs.
Stir until a dough-like consistency forms—slightly sticky but shapeable.
3️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables
Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic for 3–4 minutes, until softened.
Add the grated carrot and cook for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the sweet paprika to coat the veggies in flavor.
Remove from heat.
4️⃣ Form the Patties
With clean hands, shape the potato mixture into small patties (about palm-sized).
Flatten them slightly for even cooking.
5️⃣ Fry to Crispy Perfection
In the same skillet, heat a little more oil.
Place the patties into the pan, pressing gently into the vegetables.
Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Do in batches if needed—don’t overcrowd the pan.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped herbs, a dollop of sour cream, or a drizzle of yogurt sauce.
Perfect as a standalone dish or alongside a green salad.
