How to Make Crispy Potato Fritters

– Yukon Gold potatoes – yellow or white onion – eggs – all-purpose flour – smoked paprika – garlic powder – salt – black pepper – vegetable oil or olive oil

Recipe Ingredients

Peel potatoes and onion, and use a box grater or a food processor with a grating plate to grate both. Transfer to a large bowl.

Recipe Instructions

Working in batches, wrap the shredded potatoes and onion in a tea towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess water.

Recipe Instructions

Place the drained onion and potatoes in a large mixing bowl, and add eggs, flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt,  and pepper, and mix well with a wooden spoon.

Recipe Instructions

In a large skillet, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and warm over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, use a ¼ measuring cup to portion the fritter batter into the hot skillet.

Recipe Instructions

Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the underside of fritters starts to turn golden brown and crispy. Using a spatula, flip fritters and gently press down to flatten them. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until cooked through.

Recipe Instructions

Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining batter. Garnish fritters with green onions (if using) and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
