Instructions

Grate potatoes and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine grated potatoes, onion, egg, flour, baking powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Add more flour if mixture feels too wet.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly.
Fry for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with sour cream, yogurt dip, or your favorite sauce.

Notes

Add shredded cheese for extra richness.

Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add flavor and color.

For spice, mix in chili flakes or paprika.

Use chickpea or rice flour for a gluten-free version.

Keep cooked fritters warm in the oven while finishing the batch.
