A delightful twist on classic hash browns, these fritters are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any meal.
Grate the potatoes and onion using a grater.
Grating the potatoes and onion finely ensures even cooking and a cohesive mixture.
Place the grated vegetables in a cloth and wring out as much moisture as possible.
Removing moisture is crucial for achieving crispy fritters.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables, flour, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the mixture, which can make the fritters dense.
Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the mixture to prevent sticking.
Scoop tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, pressing down slightly to flatten.
Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature.
Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side until golden.
Use a spatula to gently flip the fritters to avoid breaking them.
Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Draining on paper towels helps keep the fritters crispy.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
