Grandma’s Potato Fritters

Directions

1. Peel and grate the potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This ensures crispy fritters.
2. Transfer the grated potatoes to a large bowl. Add parsley, spring onions, eggs, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, sweet paprika, and ground coriander. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Scoop a portion of the potato mixture and flatten it slightly to form fritters.
4. Fry the fritters in batches for 3–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. For the sauce, combine plain yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, cucumber, minced garlic, hot sauce (if using), olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
6. Serve the warm potato fritters with a generous drizzle or side of the yogurt sauce.
