Ingredients

  • 3 medium Russet potatoes
  • 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 stalks Green onions
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Step 2

Place the squeezed potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the green onions and parsley.

Step 4

Add the chopped green onions, parsley, flour, egg, salt, and black pepper to the grated potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and form it into a patty. Carefully place the patty in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Once cooked, transfer the potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
