Cooking Instructions
-
1. PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 450 DEGREES
Place a rack in the bottom third of the oven.
-
2. SHRED
It’s worth pulling out your food processor, but you can use the large holes on a box grater too. Wash the skins of the potatoes and shred all veggies into a large bowl. Finely slice the shallot and add it in. Add the paprika, garlic powder, and breadcrumbs.
In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk the eggs and add 1 ½ teaspoons of salt.
Toss the shredded veggies to combine the spices and pour the eggs over top. Use your fingers to fully soak and evenly distribute the egg.
-
3. FORM
Drizzle the bottom of a clean, rimmed baking sheet with ½ of the oil. Form a heaping ¼ cup of veggies into a loose patty shape. Plop it down on the sheet with intention so it flattens out a bit. Pat the top down so it’s flat but not too spread out. You should be able to fit 12 on a regular sized baking sheet.
Repeat until you’ve formed them all. You may have a little extra mixture, you can either use another sheet pan, pile your patties taller, or do a second batch.

4. BAKE
Roast on the lower rack for about 8 - 10 minutes, then use a flat metal spatula to flip them over. Pat the tops so the patties sit flat. Bake another 6 minutes. Flip again and bake for a final 4 - 6 minutes - that’s a total of about 20 minutes in the oven. Remove when soft inside and crispy outside.
-
5. SAUCE
Meanwhile, mix together the sour cream and crumble the feta into it. Add a pinch of salt.
-
6. SALAD
Toss lettuce with dressing.
-
7. SERVING
Serve a stack of fritters with sauce on top or on the side for dipping. Serve with crispy fresh salad on the side.
