Garlicky Potato Fritters

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

These Garlicky Potato Fritters are crispy, garlicky, and pan-fried with less oil than other recipes. They're gluten-free, simple, and made with lots of fresh garlic and dried marjoram. Serve them on their own as an appetizer, lunch, snack, or as a side dish. 

  • Total Time50 minutes
  • Yield3-6 1x
  • DietVegetarian

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lb yellow potatoes, peeled
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt (plus more for after cooking the fritters)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried marjoram (or oregano)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 flour)
  • Avocado oil for cooking (or other cooking oil)

Instructions

  1. Grate the potatoes carefully using a box grater on the larger side with bigger holes or on a mandolin with a similar setting.
  2. Transfer the grated potatoes to a medium bowl and sprinkle with sea salt, working it into the potatoes with your hand to incorporate.
  3. Allow the potatoes to sit for 10 minutes to release water.
  4. Squeeze as much water out of the potatoes as you can and transfer them to a different bowl.
  5. In a mug or a small bowl, whisk together eggs, minced garlic, and marjoram.
  6. Add the egg mixture to the grated potatoes and stir to incorporate.
  7. Add flour and stir again until well incorporated.
  8. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp avocado oil.
  9. Use a spoon to scoop the batter and form fritters in the pan. Don’t overcrowd your pan. I do 3-4 in a 12-inch pan.
  10. Cook the fritters for 2-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  11. When you take the fritters out of the pan, immediately sprinkle them with a little bit of salt. They’ll absorb it better while they’re still hot off the pan.
  12. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more oil or wiping the pan as needed.
  13. Serve the fritters on their own or with finely chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Keep your fritters warm: Preheat your oven to 250°F and keep the fritters on a baking sheet in the oven in a single layer while you finish cooking the rest of the batter. Don’t stack them to keep them crispy.

Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for 2-3 months. Place a piece of parchment paper between your slices to avoid them sticking together in the freezer.

Reheating: Reheat the fritters in a non-stick pan until warmed through or on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 300°F. You can reheat them from frozen or defros them in the fridge first.
