👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This is crucial for crispy fritters.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture. - 2
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, sliced leeks, flour, egg, chopped dill, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Do not overmix, as it can make the fritters tough. - 3
Heat about 1-2 cm (½ inch) of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Test the oil temperature by dropping a tiny bit of batter; it should sizzle immediately. - 4
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the potato-leek mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.
- 5
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- 6
Remove fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Drain well to absorb excess oil. - 7
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
