Boil the Jersey Royal potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are boiling, steam or lightly boil the broccoli florets until tender-crisp (about 5 minutes). Drain and set aside to cool.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, coarsely grate them using a box grater. You can leave the skins on for extra flavour and texture.
Chop the broccoli into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped broccoli, flour, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Heat the Jersey butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Form the potato mixture into small fritters (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
Carefully place the fritters into the hot butter, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the fritters are cooking, prepare the garlic aioli. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well. Add a little Jersey milk if you want a thinner consistency.
Serve the Jersey Royal Potato and Broccoli Fritters hot, with a generous dollop of the garlic aioli.
Nutrition per serving (245g)
For extra flavour, add a pinch of grated Jersey cheese (e.g. cheddar) to the potato mixture.
You can add other locally sourced vegetables, such as grated carrots or zucchini, to the fritter mixture.
The fritters can be kept warm in a low oven (150°C/300°F) while you cook the remaining batches.
For a spicier aioli, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
To get the best flavour from the Jersey Royal Potatoes, use them when they are in season (typically from May to July).
