Potato Fritters Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor.
   • Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for getting crispy fritters.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, baking powder, and chopped parsley (if using).
   • Mix everything together until well combined.
3. Heat the Oil:
   • Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
4. Fry the Fritters:
   • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into your hands and shape it into a small patty.
   • Carefully place the patty into the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, frying a few fritters at a time without overcrowding the pan.
   • Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
   • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the potato fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
