Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mashed leftover potatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 scallions, green parts only
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated
- 1 beaten egg
- 3 1/2 Tablespoons cold water
- 1/4 cup gluten-free self-rising flour
- Canola oil for deep frying
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, caraway seeds, salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped chives and grated cheese.
- Add the egg and cold water and mix to combine. Stir in the flour and combine until you have a thick batter.
- Thinly slice the green sections of the scallions and set aside.
- In a heavy, deep saucepan, pour in a 1-inch layer of canola oil. Heat the oil to 350 F. Prepare a space for the cooked fritters to drain by setting a double layer of paper towels on a large plate.
- It’s a good idea to test the oil temperature before frying. Simply drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If the batter sizzles and lightly browns after about a minute, the oil is hot enough.
- Carefully place tablespoons of batter into the hot oil and cook for about a minute. Turn the fritter over and cook until firm and light brown.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked fritters to the paper towel-lined plate.
- Garnish with the sliced scallions and serve.
