Ingredients:
4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Potato Mixture: In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, all-purpose flour, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep in the pan.
Form the Fritters: Take a spoonful of the potato mixture and carefully drop it into the hot oil, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon to create a fritter shape. You can fry multiple fritters at a time, depending on the size of your pan.
Fry to Golden Perfection:
Fry the potato fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to carefully flip the fritters and remove them from the oil when they’re done.
Drain and Serve: Place the fried fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. This helps maintain their crispiness.
Season and Enjoy: While the fritters are still warm, sprinkle them with a touch of salt to enhance the flavors. Serve the potato fritters as a delicious side dish or a snack. They’re best enjoyed fresh and crispy.
Experiment with Dips: These potato fritters are versatile and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. Try ketchup, sour cream, yogurt-based dips, or even a homemade garlic aioli for an extra layer of flavor.
