Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into quarters and place them in a pot of boiling water. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Onion and Garlic

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mash the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.

  3. 5

    Form the Patties

    Take small portions of the potato mixture and shape them into patties, about ½ inch thick.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Prepare for Frying

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. 7

    Fry the Patties

    Once the oil is hot, carefully place the potato patties in the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 8

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
