Crispy Potato Fritters with Herb Yogurt Dip -

Ingredients

For the Fritters:

4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
1 small onion, grated
1 large egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying

For the Herb Yogurt Dip:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Fritters

Grate the potatoes and onion, then place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with the egg, flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive batter.

Step 2: Fry the Fritters

Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten it into a patty. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each fritter for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 3: Make the Herb Yogurt Dip
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with parsley, dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and chill until ready to serve.

Step 4: Serve
Serve the crispy potato fritters warm with the herb yogurt dip on the side.

Tips for Success

Remove Excess Moisture: Thoroughly squeeze the grated potatoes and onion to achieve maximum crispiness.
Monitor Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at medium heat to ensure even cooking and avoid burning.
Customize the Dip: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
