Peel the potatoes and carrots, then grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Peel and finely grate the onion.
Transfer the grated potatoes, carrots, and onion into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This ensures the pancakes turn out crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables with flour, eggs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture and flatten it into a round pancake shape. Place it carefully into the hot skillet.
Cook the pancakes in batches, frying them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches.
Transfer the cooked pancakes onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the crispy carrot and potato pancakes warm, optionally garnished with additional parsley and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on the side.
