Crispy Herbed Potato Patties

Prepare the Potatoes:
Grate the peeled potatoes using a coarse grater. Place the grated potatoes in a colander and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps in getting a crispier patty.
Season the Potatoes:
Transfer the grated potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add salt, paprika, and black pepper to taste. Mix well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Stir in chopped parsley and basil to incorporate some fresh herby flavors.
Bind the Mixture:
Add cornstarch to the seasoned potatoes. This will help bind the mixture.
Crack the egg into the bowl and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix everything together until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, you can add a bit more cornstarch or breadcrumbs to help it hold together.
Form the Patties:
Shape the potato mixture into small patties. If the mixture sticks to your hands, wet them slightly with water to make the shaping easier.
Coat the Patties:
Spread breadcrumbs on a plate. Press each patty into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides evenly. This will add a nice crunch to the exterior of the patties.
Cook the Patties:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.Serve:
Serve these crispy herbed potato patties hot with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce. They’re great with a fresh salad or as a stand-alone snack.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair these patties with a fresh green salad or a side of roasted vegetables.
