To prepare a delicious recipe for baked and fried potatoes, start by choosing the most suitable potatoes. It is recommended to use baking potatoes, which have a drier texture and bake better. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Wash the potatoes well under a stream of cold water to remove any impurities. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until they become soft inside. After the potatoes are baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, cut them in half and use a spoon or knife to scoop out the flesh. This flesh will be mashed with a fork or a potato ricer until it becomes a fine puree. Add salt and pepper to taste, then incorporate the softened butter, mixing carefully to achieve a homogeneous and creamy composition. In a frying pan, melt a little butter or oil, being careful not to use too much, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. From the potato mixture, form small patties, the size of your palm, which you will fry in the pan. Make sure the heat is moderate, so the patties cook evenly and become golden and crispy on both sides. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they take on an appetizing golden color. When serving, these potato patties can be an excellent side dish alongside a juicy grill or a fresh salad. They can also be enjoyed as a main course with boiled vegetables, offering a more dietary and healthy option. Their taste is so delicious that not too many spices will be needed to highlight their flavor. Whether you choose to serve them plain, with a drizzle of olive oil, or alongside a meat dish, I am sure everyone at the table will love them. These potato patties are not just a simple recipe but also a perfect way to impress guests or indulge yourself with a tasty and comforting meal.
