Potato Fritters
This Potato Fritters recipe is a Puerto Rican style treat.
9 medium potatoes (about 7 cups peeled and diced)
1 tsp salt
4 tbls flour
1 egg
1 lb ground beef
1 cube sofrito* (2 tbls)
1 pkg Goya Sazon
½ cup tomato sauce
2 slices bacon in ½” pieces
Boil potatoes till tender and make sure they are very well drained. Use a potato masher and not a mixer to mash the potatoes or they will be too fluffy to work with. Mix in salt, egg and flour. Let cool a bit while making the filling.
Cook ground beef well. Pour the cooked meat in a colander and run very hot water over it for a few minutes to rinse off the grease and set aside. Put bacon in pan and cook on low heat till done. Add the sofrito and sauté for a few minutes in the bacon drippings. Add the tomato sauce and Sazon seasoning and stir for a minute or so more. Then return the meat to the pan and mix well.
Dust your hands with flour take a portion of potato mix and form a ball. Make a hole in the center and fill with a spoonful of meat and cover the hole. Roll in flour and set on wax paper. Deep fry till golden brown and drain on paper towels.
*If you don’t have sofrito just mince very fine an equal amount of green pepper, onion, garlic.
