Ingredients

• Potatoes - 300 grams
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - for frying

Steps

1. Peel and grate the potatoes into a large bowl, then soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
2. Drain the grated potatoes and use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any remaining moisture.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the egg and cornstarch to the potato mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
5. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
6. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or yogurt.
