• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 2 stalks Scallions
• 1 large Egg
• 250 milliliters Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the shallots and garlic. Chop the cilantro and slice the scallions.

Step 4

In a small pan, heat a tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat. Sauté the shallots and garlic until fragrant and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sautéed shallots and garlic to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Step 6

Stir in the ground coriander, ground white pepper, salt, chopped cilantro, and sliced scallions into the potato mixture.

Step 7

Beat the egg and add it to the mixture, combining thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Shape the potato mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.

Step 9

In a large frying pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the patties to the pan.

Step 10

Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
