Boiled Egg Fritters Recipe

If you’re looking for a delicious snack or an appetizer that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, boiled egg fritters are a fantastic choice. They combine the comfort of mashed potatoes with the heartiness of hard-boiled eggs, wrapped in a crispy coating. Here’s how you can make them!

Ingredients:

• 1kg of potatoes (peeled and boiled)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Fresh parsley (chopped, about 2 tbsp)
• 4 hard-boiled eggs (cut in halves)
• 3 raw eggs (beaten)
• Bread crumbs (for coating)
• Oil (for frying)

Method:

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

• Begin by peeling and boiling the potatoes until they are soft and tender.
• Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them well and mash them in a large bowl.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix in the chopped parsley for added flavor.

2. Shape the Fritters

• Take a small portion of the mashed potatoes (about a handful) and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
• Place half of a hard-boiled egg in the center of the mashed potatoes.
• Carefully wrap the mashed potatoes around the egg half, covering it completely. Form it into an oval or ball shape, ensuring the egg is fully encased.

3. Prepare the Coating

• Set up a breading station by placing the beaten eggs in one bowl and the bread crumbs in another.
• Dip each potato and egg fritter into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
• Then, roll it in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

4. Fry the Fritters

• Heat a deep pan or skillet with enough oil for frying. The oil should be hot but not smoking (around 350°F/180°C is ideal).
• Fry the fritters in batches, turning them occasionally to ensure they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3–4 minutes per batch.
• Once fried, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

5. Serve

• Serve the boiled egg fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce. They are perfect with ketchup, mayonnaise, or a tangy chili sauce.

Tips:

• For added flavor, you can mix grated cheese into the mashed potatoes.
• To make the fritters even crunchier, you can double-coat them by dipping them again in the egg and bread crumbs before frying.
