This is an old family favorite and the meal I always ask for when I go home. Filipino potato-y fried goodness.- Grate the potatoes (use the big holes on the grater).
- Add the carrots, green onion, and onions.
- Mix it up.
- Add the shrimp, flour, cornstarch, and water.
- Mix it up.
- Salt and pepper time. (By this time you should have a thick but slighly runny, potato heavy batter)
- In a pan, heat up about an inch of oil (enough to almost cover the patty).
- Using a saucer or small plate form a little potato patty.
- When the oil gets hot, slide the patty into the oil.
Serve with a dipping sauce of 2:1 vinegar and soy sauce, plus crushed garlic, and fresh cracked black pepper. Don't forget the steamed rice.
