Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 0.25 cup Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
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 yellow onion, or grate it using the box grater. Add the onion to the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the all-purpose flour, eggs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small amount of the potato mixture into it—if it sizzles, it's ready.
Using a tablespoon, scoop a portion of the potato mixture into the skillet. Flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a patty. Repeat until the skillet is filled, leaving space between each fritter.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the potato fritters warm, optionally garnished with extra parsley, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
