Potato fritters

Here’s a simple and delicious Potato Fritters recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare Potatoes:
   • Grate the potatoes and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, egg, flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to form a batter.
