Peel and grate the russet potatoes and turnips using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated potatoes and turnips in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and wring out as much liquid as possible.
Transfer the grated and drained vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
Finely mince the garlic clove and chop the fresh parsley. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Crack the egg into the bowl and add the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix all ingredients until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and form it into a small patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Place the patties into the skillet, leaving some space between each one. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the potato and turnip patties warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
