Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup flour (or as needed)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the potatoes: Grate the potatoes into fine shreds. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess water.
- Prepare the onions: Finely chop the onions and set them aside.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onions, parsley, egg, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. Add flour a little at a time until the mixture is firm enough to hold its shape when formed into balls.
- Shape the fritters: Take small portions of the potato mixture and roll them into balls or flatten them into small patties, depending on your preference.
- Heat the oil: Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the fritters: Carefully drop the fritters into the hot oil. Fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot.
Enjoy your crispy, delicious potato fritters!
