  • 2 piece Eggs
  • 60 g Flour
  • 50 g Parsley
  • 2 piece Shallots

Method

  1. Grate the potatoes, onions and shallots coarsely into one bowl.
  2. Wring the mixture out in a cloth, but not bone dry; a little moisture is needed.
  3. Mix in the eggs, flour, chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
  4. Heat the oil to 175 °C. Hotter, and the edges burn before the middle is hot.
  5. Drop the mixture in by the spoonful, flattened to half a centimetre, and fry three minutes a side.
  6. Drain on a rack, salt them and serve hot with apple sauce.
