Chifelini or chifeletti are traditional Italian potato fritters originating from Trieste, but they can be found throughout Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige. The potato fritters can be made in savory or sweet versions and they're usually made with a combination of potatoes, flour, eggs, butter, oil, and either salt or sugar.

The potatoes are boiled, drained, mashed, and mixed with flour, eggs, butter, and salt or sugar. The mixture is shaped into logs or elongated crescents and it's then fried in hot oil until golden brown and crisp. The fritters are typically served piping hot, dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon for the sweet version, or simply sprinkled with salt for the savory version.
