Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare Potatoes:
- Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Heat Oil:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure there’s enough oil to submerge the fritters.
- Form Fritters:
- Take a spoonful of the potato mixture and form it into a flat, round fritter. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the fritters on a plate.
- Fry Potato Fritters:
- Carefully place the formed fritters into the hot oil. Fry each side until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Drain Excess Oil:
- Once the fritters are golden and crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat and Keep Warm:
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato mixture. You can keep the cooked fritters warm in a low-temperature oven while frying the rest.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the crispy potato fritters with chopped fresh parsley or chives for added freshness. Serve hot and enjoy the golden goodness.
Note:
Experiment with seasoning by adding herbs or spices like cumin, chili powder, or grated Parmesan cheese to the potato mixture for extra flavor.
