  • 1 small onion, grated

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Herbed Dip:

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Grate & Prep
    Grate potatoes and onion. Squeeze out all moisture using a towel or cheesecloth.

  • Make the Batter
    Combine grated mix with eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until sticky and combined.

  • Fry the Fritters
    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spoonfuls of batter and flatten gently. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels.

  • Make the Dip
    In a small bowl, combine sour cream, dill, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix and chill for 10 minutes.

  • Serve
    Arrange hot fritters on a plate with the dip in the center. Sprinkle paprika on top of the dip if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, double squeeze the potatoes to remove moisture.

  • You can add grated zucchini or carrots for variation.

  • Air fryer option: Cook at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.

  • Leftovers? Reheat in oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes.
