Savory Potato Fritters are crispy, golden bites packed with flavor, perfect for a cozy meal or as a delightful side dish. These fritters are easy to make and offer a comforting taste of home with every bite.

Ingredients

• Russet potatoes - 2 medium (about 300g)
• Onion - 1 small (about 100g)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Egg - 1 large
• All-purpose flour - 3 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons (for frying)

Steps

1. Peel and grate the potatoes into a large bowl, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
2. Finely chop the onion and mix it in with the grated potatoes.
3. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, egg, flour, salt, and black pepper to the potato mixture, stirring until well combined.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
5. Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
6. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, then repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
8. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
