🥔 Frittelle di patate (Italian potato fritters)

12 fritters · prep 25 min · cook 15 min

Ingredients

• 800 g potatoes
• 1 egg
• 60 g grated parmesan
• 60 g breadcrumbs
• 1 garlic clove, parsley
• 100 g mozzarella cubes (optional)
• Frying oil, salt, pepper

Method

1. Boil the potatoes whole in their skins: peeled, they soak up water and the mixture will not hold.
2. Peel them while still hot and mash them through a ricer, then let them cool a little.
3. Mix with the egg, parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley; season.
4. Shape patties, hiding a cube of mozzarella in the middle if you want a molten centre.
5. Fry at 175 °C, 3 min per side, until deep golden.
6. Drain on a rack rather than paper — underneath, they go soft.
