Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and shred them using a box grater. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 2
Shred the onion in the same manner and squeeze out its excess liquid too. Combine the shredded potatoes and onion in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Chop the fresh parsley finely and fold it into the mixture.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a small piece of the mixture is added.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into your hands and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form all patties.
Step 7
Carefully place a few patties in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked patties onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
Step 10
Serve the patties hot, garnished with additional parsley or alongside a dipping sauce of your choice.
