Peel and grate the russet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes.
Peel, core, and grate the apples into the same bowl as the potatoes. Gently mix together.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the ground cinnamon and salt.
Add the beaten egg mixture and flour to the potato and apple mixture. Mix until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter and shape into small patties. Carefully place them into the hot oil.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the finished fritters and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Serve warm, optionally sprinkled with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup for a sweet finishing touch.
