In a small enamel bowl, crack a medium-sized chicken egg. Add a pinch of salt to it. Then beat the egg as thoroughly as possible using a fork. You can also use a whisk, which will make the process faster and require less effort.

Step 5
Place a small amount of flour on a small plate. Roll each potato ball in the flour. The flour will help hold the potato together during frying; the key is to thoroughly coat each ball, leaving no gaps.
