Instructions

Prepare Potatoes

After grating the potatoes, place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, flour, baking powder, dried thyme, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Heat Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep.

Fry the Gromperekichelcher

Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form small patties.

Fry the patties in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve

Remove the patties from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Enjoy your meal!
