Ingredients

2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled, cubed
4 shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 scallions, finely sliced
1/4 cup celery leaves (or flat-leaf parsley), finely chopped
2 large egg, beaten
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

1

Boil 2 lbs peeled, cubed russet potatoes in salted water until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash thoroughly until smooth.
2

In a small pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry 4 thinly sliced shallots and 2 minced garlic cloves until golden and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the mashed potatoes, reserving the cooking oil.
3

Add 4 finely sliced scallions, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery leaves (or flat-leaf parsley), 2 beaten large egg, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground white pepper to the potatoes. Mix well until fully combined.
4

Shape the mixture into oval patties about 1/2-inch thick (roughly golf-ball size).
5

Heat the remaining 1/3 cup vegetable oil in the pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until deep golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
6

Serve warm.
