Ingredients

2 large potatoes, peeled and freshly grated

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, finely minced

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 egg, lightly beaten

Vegetable oil for frying

Sour cream or applesauce for serving (optional)

Preparation and Cooking Time: Approximately 25 minutes

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and beaten egg. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Heat approximately 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.

Using a spoon, carefully drop portions of the potato mixture into the hot oil, gently flattening each fritter with a spatula. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color and develop a crispy, crunchy texture.

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve your Crispy Golden Potato Fritters hot, accompanied by sour cream or applesauce for dipping if desired.

Enjoy these delicious, crispy treats!
