These savory fritters combine the natural sweetness of carrots with the hearty texture of potatoes, creating a delightful dish perfect for any meal.
Grate the carrots and potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated vegetables to ensure the fritters are crispy.
Add the flour, egg, thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined for consistent flavor in every fritter.
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Wait until the oil is hot enough to sizzle a small drop of the mixture before adding the fritters.
Scoop portions of the mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Cook each side until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
Use a gentle touch when flipping to prevent the fritters from breaking apart.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat the fritters gently with a paper towel to remove any remaining oil.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish.
Pair with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
