Just Mix Potatoes with Eggs – A Village Secret That’s Crispy, Golden, and Full of Flavor!
Passed down from my grandmother’s kitchen, this simple recipe needs only two main ingredients and gives you something truly unforgettable.
I still remember the smell wafting from her clay stove as she’d grate fresh potatoes and mix them with eggs. There was no rush, no fancy tools—just love and patience. The sizzling sound as the mixture hit the hot pan meant we were in for a delicious, crispy treat that vanished in minutes.

- 2 large eggs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons flour or breadcrumbs (optional for binding)
- Cooking oil or butter for frying
