Potato fritters are one of my favourite meals from my childhood. My mother makes uniquely delicious potato fritters… Her recipe is with the traditional Bulgarian feta cheese and pennyroyal herb (Bulgarians usually use for bean soup) and lots of friends, who have eaten her potato fritters, are still telling stories how delicious this was.
I tried to adapt the recipe and to make them without cheese and eggs and it worked out. The first ones broke into the frying pan but the oil wasn’t hot enough… They became very delicious and were eaten quickly. It impressed me the fact that 1kg of potatoes fed two people (me and my husband) … only two! We must have been hungry!
