Notes

β€’ Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes before mixing. This helps create extra crispy potato fritters.
β€’ Cornstarch helps bind the potatoes together while creating a beautifully crisp exterior.
β€’ Fry over medium heat so the fritters cook through while developing a deep golden crust.
β€’ Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this lowers the oil temperature and prevents the fritters from crisping properly.
β€’ These crispy Parmesan potato fritters are best served immediately but can be reheated in an air fryer or oven to restore their crispiness.
β€’ Serve with sour cream, garlic aioli, spicy mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.
