Ingredients:
- 1kg of potatoes
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 3 raw eggs, beaten
- Bread crumbs, for coating
- Oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Boil the Potatoes: Start by placing the potatoes in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and let them cook for about 30 minutes or until they’re soft and easily pierced with a fork.
- Mash and Season: Once boiled, transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Mash them until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and freshly chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs: Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them into quarters.
- Shape the Fritters: Take a portion of the mashed potato mixture and shape it into a ball. Flatten it slightly in your palm, place a piece of the quartered egg in the center, and then enclose the egg with the potato mixture, forming a stuffed fritter.
- Coat and Fry: Dip each stuffed fritter into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated. Next, roll the fritter in the bread crumbs, ensuring an even coat. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the fritters until they’re golden brown on both sides.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once fried to a crispy perfection, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm, perhaps with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Serving Suggestion: These fritters pair wonderfully with a tangy sauce like a garlic aioli or a simple tomato ketchup.
Tip: Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fritters to achieve a crisp exterior without making them oily.
