Gromperekichelcher
Luxembourgish Potato Fritters
Gromperekichelcher are crispy, deep-fried potato fritters, a beloved snack often found at Luxembourgish festivals and markets. Made with grated potatoes, onion, egg, and parsley, they are typically served warm with applesauce or mustard.
🧂 Ingrédients
- 1 kg Potatoes(peeled and grated)
- 3 medium Onions(finely chopped or grated)
- 1 tablespoon Parsley(freshly chopped)
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Flour(all-purpose)
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg(grated, or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Salt(or to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper(freshly ground, or to taste)
- Sunflower oil(for frying)
- Applesauce(for serving (optional))
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Peel and grate the potatoes and onions. If using grated potatoes, place them in a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, grated onions, chopped parsley, eggs, flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined and has a batter-like consistency. Let the mixture rest for about 30 minutes.
- 3
Pour enough sunflower oil into a large frying pan to cover the bottom generously. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a tiny bit of batter; it should sizzle immediately.
- 4
With wet hands or a tablespoon, form portions of the potato mixture into small, flat patties or cakes. Carefully place them into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- 5
Fry the gromperekichelcher for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with a little extra salt if desired.
- 7
Serve the gromperekichelcher warm, traditionally with applesauce or a dollop of Luxembourgish mustard.
