Potato fritters - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, sweet potatoes can be a tasty alternative. Just note that they may result in a slightly sweeter fritter and may require adjusting cooking time as they can brown faster.

How can I make these fritters gluten-free?

Substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour for a gluten-free version. Ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free if necessary.

What's the best way to store leftover potato fritters?

Store cooled fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.

Can I freeze potato fritters for later use?

Yes, freeze cooked fritters on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in a skillet or oven straight from frozen until heated through.

How can I make these fritters crispier?

For crispier fritters, squeeze excess moisture from the grated potatoes before mixing and ensure the oil is hot enough before frying.

Are there any vegan substitutes for the egg in this recipe?

Use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) or chia egg as a binder to make these fritters vegan.

Can I bake these fritters instead of frying?

Yes, brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) on a parchment-lined tray for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.

What are some creative serving suggestions for potato fritters?

Serve as a side with applesauce, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or top with smoked salmon and dill for an elegant appetizer.
