Salt to taste

Chili flakes or Aleppo pepper for topping
Instructions
1. Prep the potatoes
-
Grate potatoes and onion using a box grater.
-
Place in a clean towel and squeeze HARD to remove as much liquid as possible (this is key for crispiness).

Transfer to a bowl.

Add egg, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
-
Mix until just combined.
3. Fry
-
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Spoon small patties into the pan and flatten slightly.
-
Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain on paper towels.
4. Make the dip
-
Mix yogurt, garlic, herbs, and salt.
-
Sprinkle chili flakes on top before serving.
Pro Tips for that photo-perfect look
-
Keep fritters small and irregular (they crisp better)
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan
-
Serve immediately while hot 🔥
If you want, I can give you:
-
a cheese-filled version
-
baked or air-fryer method
-
or a Middle Eastern / Turkish-style variation
Just say the word 😌
