Frituras de Malanga
Frituras de Malanga are crispy Cuban fritters made from grated malanga (taro root), seasoned with garlic, parsley, and spices, then fried to a golden perfection. They offer a delightful crunch on the outside and a tender, slightly starchy interior, making them a popular appetizer or snack.
🧂 Ingrediënten
- 1 lb Malanga (taro root)(peeled and grated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic(finely minced or grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley(finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt(or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper(freshly ground, or to taste)
- 3 cups Vegetable oil(for frying)
👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
In a medium bowl, combine the grated malanga, eggs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 375°F (190°C). If you don't have a thermometer, a drop of the mixture should sizzle immediately.
- 3
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the malanga mixture into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches.
- 4
Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve hot as an appetizer or side dish.
