Things that go together:

- Audrey Hepburn and that little black dress

- Sarah Palin's speeches and my migraine

- Strawberries and cream
- Chocolate and coffee
... apples and potatoes?
That's right. Apple, meet Potato. You may not believe me, but I think the two of you are going to get along just fine.
Bonjour, you sexy thing ...
Oh excuse me, you're Scottish you say, not French? I beg your pardon, lassie ...
So you hail from the MacIntosh clan, eh? Well, if I may be so bold, you young lady, are a fine specimen.
*rolling eyes at my pathetic juvenile humor*
And that, folks, is an example of why I will never go into acting or comedy.
I have to remind you, dear readers, that I don't even like apples much. But the idea of having it in a savory snack was really appealing. I simply had to give this recipe a whirl. Plus, the pictures on this person's blog made the dish look completely irresistible.
Makes 6 fritters
Ingredients:
1 apple, peeled and grated
1 large potato, peeled and grated
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp rice flour
2 tbsp Parmesan
Salt & pepper to taste
Canola oil for shallow frying
Method:
1. Combine the grated apple and potato, then spread them out on thick paper towels for all the moisture to drain out.
2. Mix the apple-potato mixture with the rest of the ingredients, and stir till everything comes together.
3. Heat a few tbsp of oil in a frying pan till shimmering.
4. Drop a heaping tbsp of the batter into the hot oil and flatten the top. Crisp on both sides, then serve with cool sour cream.
Verdict: Crispy goodness that was a cinch to put together. Makes a great snack for DH when he comes home from work. And of course, since I'm the dutiful wife, I had to give him company and partake of my share - I simply had to, I tell you! Funny how I'm humming just thinking back to the taste of this fritter in my mouth. Omnomnom!
Oh, and speaking of strange things that go together - well, there's these two ...
