Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes. Transfer to a large pot and cover with cold water, then turn on the heat and cook for about 6 minutes. After cooking, drain and let cool.
Step 2
Using a grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, shred the potatoes.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes with egg, flour, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, Parmesan cheese (optional) and any seasoning of your choice (garlic powder, onion powder, etc). Mix until well-combined.
Step 4
Take a small handful of the potato mixture and shape it into a disc. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 5
Heat a nonstick skillet, slightly greased or oiled. When hot, place the fritters without overcrowding the pan. Cook over medium heat until the underside is golden, then flip with a spatula and cook on the other side.
Step 6
Once they are cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or as a snack.
