Air Fryer Potato Fritters
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Cooking spray or oil for spraying
Instructions:
Prepare the Potatoes:
Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Combine Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, beaten egg, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the Fritters:
Take spoonfuls of the potato mixture and shape them into flat patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed fritters on a plate.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
Cook the Fritters:
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Place the potato fritters in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
Air fry the fritters for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the potato fritters are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the potato fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, sour cream, or a yogurt-based sauce.
Variations:
Feel free to customize the fritters by adding ingredients like grated cheese, chopped herbs, or spices to the potato mixture before cooking.
Enjoy these crispy and delicious air fryer potato fritters as a tasty side dish, snack, or appetizer. The air fryer helps achieve a crispy texture without the need for deep frying, making these fritters a healthier option.
