Once Baked Once Fried Potato Fritters


I've bought a bag of red potatoes two weeks ago
What should I do with them ?
They can grow some sprouts in a few days
And the sprouts are poisonous

Our family is not very fond of potatoes actually
It's because I shopped with two friends who love potatoes
I bought them too
Spur of the moment sort of things...

Okay, I'll make potato fritter
My mom usually frying the potatoes..mashing ..mixing with seasoning , meat , and eggs
Shaping then deep frying

I look up the recipes in the internet.. and yes... also twice fried
I think maybe I can bake them instead of frying it ..
I slice the potatoes into big chunks.. give them a little bit of oil wash..
( or put some cooking spray .. too bad it's not available in my pantry at this moment )
Bake them in 400 F oven for 30 min..
Then turn up the temp for 425 , bake for another 10 mins to crisp the skin
Mash untill soft.. Put seasoning, sliced scallion and celery leaves.. also ground dried shrimp ( since I don't have canned corned beef or cooked ground beef ), and egg.....fold untill everything nicely combined
Shape into balls... then deep fry...

I eat them with rice cooked in coconut milk , keffir lime leaves, indian bay leaves and tumeric ...
Mmhmmm mhhhmmm yummy...

  1. Tirsa, sprouting potatoes are OK to eat. As long as you cut and throw away the sprouts. The sprouts are poisonous. Not the potatoes. We get that all the time. We just clean the sprouts, peeled it good, washed it good and cooked it.
