Ingredients

FOR THE POTATO FRITTERS

  • 2 medium potatoes (peeled) 1 lbs / 450 grams
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour 60 grams
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder 2 grams
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup club soda 90 ml
  • 6 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 1.25 grams
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives 5 grams
  • sea salt & black pepper

FOR THE SPICY YOGURT DIP

  • 1 container plain Greek yogurt 5.3 oz / 150 grams
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely grated)
  • 1 tsp hot smoked Spanish paprika 2.50 grams
  • 2 tsp lemon juice 10 ml
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 15 ml
  • sea salt & black pepper

EXTRAS

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 60 ml
  • chopped chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Using a box grater, finely shred the potatoes and onion, then add the shredded ingredients over a cheesecloth and squeeze all the water out

  2. Add the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, mix together, then make a well in the middle, crack in the egg and whisk the egg, and then add in the club soda and whisk everything together until you get a smooth batter

  3. Add the shredded potatoes and onion over the batter, along with the chopped garlic, sweet smoked paprika, chopped chives, and season with salt & pepper, mix together until well mixed

  4. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

  5. After a couple of minutes and the oil is nice and hot, start adding in spoonfuls of the batter and gently pushing down on each one, you want all the fritters in a single layer and evenly spaced, so cook in batches to not overcrowd the pan, fry for 4 minutes per side or until golden and crispy, then transfer into a dish with paper towels

  6. To make the spicy yogurt sauce, add the Greek yogurt into a bowl, along with the grated garlic, hot smoked paprika, lemon juice, olive oil, and season with salt & pepper, whisk together

  7. Transfer the yogurt sauce into a serving dish and decorate the fritters around it, garnish with chopped chives, enjoy!
