Cheese and Potato Fritters

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated potatoes (or mashed, if preferred)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works well)
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons flour
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• Oil for frying
• Fresh dill (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mixture:
   • Grate the potatoes and squeeze out excess water using a towel if using raw potatoes.
   • In a bowl, mix the potatoes, cheese, egg, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
2. Shape the Fritters:
   • Take a spoonful of the mixture and shape it into small patties or fritters.
3. Fry:
   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Fry the fritters until golden and crispy on each side (about 3-4 minutes per side).
4. Drain:
   • Place the cooked fritters on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh dill and serve warm with sour cream, a dipping sauce, or as a side dish.
