Combine the potatoes, caraway seeds, spring onions, cheese, egg, and beer in a separate bowl.

Stir the flour into the mixture to create a thick batter.

Heat 2.5cm of oil in a deep saucepan to 180°C.

Lower tablespoons of batter into the oil and fry for one minute per side until golden.

Drain the fritters on kitchen paper and serve with the pickled beetroot.
