Potato, Onion, and Cheese Fritters with Sour Cream Dip
Golden, crispy, and irresistibly cheesy, these Potato, Onion, and Cheese Fritters are the ultimate comfort food snack. Perfectly seasoned with a hint of mustard powder and served with cool sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce, they’re crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and utterly addictive. This recipe makes about five hearty patties — just enough to share (though you might not want to!).
Ingredients (for 5 patties)
- 1 large potato, grated and well drained
- 1 onion, grated
- ½ block of cheese (about 4 oz), grated – cheddar and Gruyère or another hard Swiss cheese work beautifully
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder (optional, for depth of flavor)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- Oil, for frying
- To serve: sour cream, ketchup, or mustard-mayonnaise dip
