Vegetable Fritters Recipe Ready in Just 15 Minutes
Vegetable fritters recipe ready in just 15 minutes using simple ingredients. Crispy, quick, and perfect for snacks or sides.
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup green onions, finely chopped
Seasoning & binding
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- 3 tablespoons corn starch
Cooking
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more for pan-frying
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the sliced potatoes, and cook until fork-tender. This takes about 10 minutes.
- In a separate pot, boil the chopped carrots until soft. Give them around 8 minutes, then drain both the potatoes and carrots and let them cool for a few minutes.
- While the vegetables are cooling, finely chop the green onions and set them aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the cooked potatoes with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
- Mash or finely grind the cooked carrots, then stir them into the mashed potatoes.
- Add the chopped green onions, paprika, salt, and corn starch to the bowl. Mix everything together until it’s well blended and holds together nicely.
- Spoon the mixture into a large zip-top bag, seal it tight, and snip off one bottom corner to make a simple piping bag.
- Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat until it starts to shimmer.
- Pipe small rounds of the fritter mixture into the hot oil. Gently flatten each one with the back of a spoon. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve them hot and fresh, because that’s when they’re the absolute best.
