Swiss Chard Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh swiss chard tough stems removed, chopped
- 1 cup potato grated and rinsed in cold water to prevent browning
- ¼ cup yellow onion fine chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- ½ cup Feta crumbled
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Wash, spin dry Swiss chard, removing tough stems. Peel the potato, grate and set in cold water for 5 minutes, drain and pat dry. Chop the onion and garlic. Zest the lemon
- In a medium size skillet or cast iron pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the chopped Swiss chard, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove to a large mixing bowl and cool for about 5 minutes
- Add the grated potatoes, flour, salt and pepper, lemon zest and eggs to the mixing bowl and combine until all ingredients are mixed well
- Wipe out the skillet you used to cook the chard and onions and heat it with 2-3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat
- While the skillet is heating, shape the patties into golf ball sizes with your hands, adding them to the heated skillet as you shape them. Flatten them to about ½-inch. Don't crowd the pan, you may need to cook them in two batches. Cook them until they are browned, about 5-6 minutes each side
- Serve with crumbled Feta or a dollop of mayonnaise
