Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Transfer the drained potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Crack the egg into the bowl with the potatoes and add the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. While the oil is heating, use your hands to shape the potato mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Carefully place the potato patties into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if needed.
Serve the potato pats warm as a side dish, snack, or topped with sour cream and chives for extra flavor.
