POTATO AND CREAM CHEESE FRITTER

Ingredients....250 gm of potatoes ( all rounder), 60 gm of cream cheese, 2 eggs (separated ), 1/2 tsp of mustard powder,1/2 tsp of cracked black pepper, canola oil for cooking. Preheat your oven to 160 deg C. Peel the potatoes, grate them coasely and transfer them to a bowl. Cover with cold water and soak for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry on paper towelling. Mix the cream cheese and egg yolks together until smooth , then season with cracked pepper and mustard powder. Whisk the egg whites in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the egg yolk and cream cheese mixture. now fold in the grated potato mixture. Heat 2 tbs of canola oil in a large pan over a med/ high heat. Spoon 1 tbs of the mixture into the heated pan, you should be able to fry four fritters at a time, but make sure the fritters are spaced apart. Flatten each fritter lightly with the bak of a spoon to flatten slightly. Fry for 3 minutes or until crisp and golden, turning once. drain on crumpled paper towelling and the transfer to the preheated oven to keep crisp and warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture. These fritters are amazing , serve them as a side dish to your beef/ pork / lamb or fish. I like to serve them at breakfast with bacon and eggs.
