Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Finely chop the green onions and fresh parsley and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is just combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small bit of the potato mixture into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Scoop 1/4 cup portions of the potato mixture and carefully place them into the hot oil. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of a spatula to form fritters.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Garnish the fritters with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with a side of sour cream or your choice of dipping sauce.
