Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill, thyme, or rosemary), chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, or onions)
  • Red pepper flakes or cayenne powder, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and finely grate the potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture to ensure the bites turn out crispy.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or cheese you are using until well combined and airy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the drained grated potatoes into the egg mixture, making sure everything is evenly coated without mashing the potatoes.
  4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil or butter. Ensure the surface is hot to promote browning.
  5. Cook Each Bite: Spoon small portions of the mixture into the pan, pressing each gently to form rounds about 2-3 inches wide. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Drain and Serve: Transfer the cooked bites to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy their crisp exterior paired with a fluffy interior.

Notes

  • Drain potatoes thoroughly to avoid sogginess and ensure crispiness.
  • Preheat the pan well to achieve a perfect golden crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook bites with space between them for even cooking.
  • Use fresh eggs for a fluffier souffle texture.
  • Avoid using watery vegetables to maintain the right texture.
