Tips for Making Thermomix Vegetable Fritters:
- Any combination of vegetable can be used to make these fritters.
- There is no need to peel the potatoes or carrots before grating.
- It is important to cut the vegetables into 3cm pieces before adding to the Thermomix bowl.
- For finer vegetables, grate for a further 2 seconds, speed 6.
- The liquid content of the vegetables will impact the amount of water needed. You do not want a 'runny' consistency.
- If you do add too much water, add an extra 1 - 2 tablespoons of flour.
- Make these fritters into smaller 'bites' for younger children. Please note the is will increase the overall amount of fritters made using this recipe.
- You can enjoy these fritters either hot or cold. Store in the fridge for up to five days.
- To freeze, place in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to two months.
Too much water has been added to the batter. The batter should be easy to scoop and not 'run' when you add to the frying pan. Add an extra 1 - 2 tablespoons of flour to achieve the desired consistency. Additionally, cook the fritters longer to ensure cooked all the way through.
We like to make vegetable fritters with a combination of potatoes, carrot, zucchini and peas. You can use any combination of vegetables including sweet potato, broccoli and corn. Add self-raising flour, eggs, water, onion flakes and garlic to the grated vegetables.
Add extra virgin olive oil to your frying pan and heat to a medium-high heat. Add extra olive oil between cooking fritter batches.

Jenny says
Would you cook them first then freeze them, or freeze the mixture uncooked?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Jenny, I would definitely cook first and then freeze.
Melissa says
My kid loved it!
Tracey says
Could it be done without potatoes I want to make it keto
Tash says
You could try substituting the potato with cauliflower 🙂
Kim says
Hi, has anyone tried to make these gluten free yet?
Kat says
Yes - they work fine! I use Aldi's gluten free flour ( like this better than most other gluten free flours as it seems to substitute 1:1 pretty well)
Raeleen de Joux says
Delicious, quick and easy to make. Regular menu item in our house. Everyone loves them.
Lucy says
Fantastic!
Fiona says
Have you tried these using almond or coconut flour instead of SRF?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Fiona, no sorry I haven't tried this recipe with either of those x
Amber says
Made these for the first time tonight. Easy to follow. So tasty. Unfortunately my family are fussy but they reluctantly at them. I ate 6-7 very quickly they were that good. Freezing them for easy meals for my 6 month old.
Sam says
Hi there
Could you cook these in an electric pancake maker you think? Or does it need to be the stovetop?
Thank you
Lucy Mathieson says
You could definitely do them in a pancake maker!
Steph says
Hi, would love to know if you can omit the cheeses?? These are so yummy but my son is dairy intolerant...
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Steph, I haven't tried doing this but I don't see why you couldn't. You may need a little extra flour to help bind them together though.
Mardi says
Love this recipe - I added some shallots and coriander to mine!
I guess you could mix any left over vege in the fridge as it grates it down so small.
Lucy Mathieson says
Great ideas!!!
Pia Riestra says
do you need to cook the potatoes before? I'm not sure of how cooking this on the pan 3 minutes each side would cook the potato appropriately
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Pia, No you don't need to cook the potatoes first. As they have been grated into small pieces they really take no time at all to cook 🙂
Amanda says
Could this work without the egg?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Amanda, it sure can work. You may need to add a little extra water to help bind the fritters together if the mixture is a little dry though
Nettie Arneson says
Thanks you so much for your helpful shearing post!
Sue Chamberlain says
Add diced cooked roast lamb and a little mint for a tasty treat. My children grew up eating them and now the grandkids are enjoying them as well. ??
Lauren Matheson says
That's a great idea, thanks Sue!
Fiona says
Hi - would these work as well with sweet potato?
Lauren Matheson says
Yes they sure would 🙂
