Tips for making successful potato fritters:
Press the potatoes well:
After grating the potatoes, squeeze them hard to remove as much water as possible. This ensures crispy fritters and prevents them from falling apart during cooking.
Balancing the flavors:
Taste the mixture before forming the donuts to adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper or spices according to your preference.
Using hot oil:
Heat the oil over medium heat. If it is too cold, the donuts will absorb the oil and be greasy. If it is too hot, they may burn on the outside without cooking through.
Donut Uniformity:
Form into similar sized patties for even cooking. If necessary, use a cookie cutter or your wet hands to shape the donuts.
Adjust cooking:
If you prefer a lighter version, bake the donuts in the oven at 200°C (390°F) on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and lightly oiled. Turn them over halfway through cooking.
Prepare the sauce in advance:
Let the sauce sit in the refrigerator before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and gives an even more refreshing texture.
Customize the recipe:
Add grated cheese (like Parmesan or Emmental) to the mixture for even more delicious donuts.
Replace the parsley with basil, mint or dill to vary the flavors.
Serve hot:
Donuts are best when they are fresh and crispy. Serve them immediately after baking to enjoy their perfect texture.
Storing Potato Fritters:
Storage in the refrigerator:
Allow the donuts to cool completely before storing.
Place them in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap. You can store them in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days .
Freezing:
If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the donuts.
Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer, without them touching, and place them in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours.
Then transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 months .
Reheating the Donuts :
Reheating in the oven:
To get the crispy texture back, reheat the donuts in the oven. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and heat the donuts for 10-15 minutes.
Reheating in a pan:
Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat and reheat the donuts for a few minutes on each side until golden brown again.
Microwave reheating:
If you’re in a hurry, you can reheat the donuts in the microwave, but this may affect their crispiness. Place them on a plate and reheat for 30 to 60 seconds.
Sauce :
In the refrigerator : The yogurt sauce can be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days .
Freezing : Yogurt-based sauce does not freeze very well, as it may separate when defrosted. It is best to make it fresh.
Enjoy your delicious donuts even after a few days with these storage tips!
