Potato fritters

🥔 Crisy Potato Fritters Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

• 3 medium potatoes (about 500–600g), peeled

• 1 small onion (optional, for extra flavor)

• 1 egg

• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for extra crispiness)

• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

• Oil for frying (vegetable or sunflower oil)

Instructions

1. Grate the potatoes
   Grate potatoes (and onion, if using) using the large holes of a grater.

2. Remove excess moisture (very important!)
   Place grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
   This step makes them crispy instead of soggy.

3. Mix the batter
   In a bowl, combine:

   • Squeezed potatoes

   • Egg

   • Flour

   • Salt, pepper, garlic powder

   Mix well until combined.

4. Heat the oil
   Heat about ½ cm of oil in a pan over medium heat.

5. Fry the fritters

   • Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of mixture into the pan.

   • Flatten slightly with a spatula.

   • Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain & serve
   Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
