Ingredients

• Potatoes - 300 grams
• Butter - 50 grams
• Water - 150 milliliters
• All-purpose flour - 75 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Nutmeg - a pinch
• Vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

1. Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks, then boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
4. Once boiling, add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
5. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Add the mashed potatoes to the mixture and mix well until combined.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the potato-flour mixture, stirring until smooth and glossy.
7. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F).
8. Using two spoons, scoop out small portions of the dough and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes each side.
9. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
