Potato cookies may freak people out, but this is a pretty standard recipe from Poland using up ingredients that would normally be found in every kitchen. Ingredients:
4 eggs, separated |
1/2 cup cream |
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
1 pinch ground cinnamon |
2 3/4 pounds potatoes - peeled, finely grated, and squeezed dry |
2 tablespoons raisins (optional) |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup oil for deep frying |
confectioners' sugar for dusting |
Directions:
1. Beat together the egg yolks, cream 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Stir into the grated potatoes along with the raisins, and mix until well combined; then stir in the flour.
2. Beat the egg whites with salt until stiff. Gently fold into the potato mixture.
3. Heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep fryer or electric skillet.
4. Fry the cookies by dropping heaping tablespoon-size dollops into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, then drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
