Potato Fritters (Luxembourg)

World-Bites (75) / Potato Fritters

There can be no doubt that the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg is truly a gastronomer's delight. Most traditional dishes are of peasant origin, but Luxembourg's affinities with both French and German culture have long ago been translated into the country's speciality foods. Potato Fritters (Gromperekichelcher) are some of the more succulent traditional snacks.

Ingredients:

* 1 kg potatoes
* 3 onions
* 2 shallots
* Parsley
* 4-6 eggs
* 2 tablespoons flour
* Salt
* Pepper
* Oil for frying

Wash, peel and coarsely grate the potatoes. Put them in a cloth and press them.

Chop the parsley, shallots, and onions, and mix them in. Add the beaten eggs. Salt and pepper to taste. Prepare with the flour.

Heat the oil in a pan until very hot. Form flat cakes out of the potato mixture and fry them in the oil until golden brown on both sides.
