Ingredients

Scale

6-7 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled

16 oz white cheese

1/4 cup cornmeal plus 2 tablespoons for rolling the frittatas

4 large eggs

3 teaspoons oregano

1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or green onions (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

Make the Potatoes:

  1. Mash or grate the potatoes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, cheese, spices, 2 eggs, cornmeal, and salt to taste. Mix the mixture well.
  3. Form 12 balls the size of tennis balls. Then flatten them slightly into patties. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

  3. Beat the eggs in a deep dish.
  4. Place the potato frittata first in the flour and then dip in the egg.
  5. Once the oil is hot, add the fritters in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  6. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve: 

  1. Serve immediately with chopped parsley 
  2. Option: Serve with dipping sauce, such as sour cream, garlic aioli, or ketchup.
