In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch depth of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Scoop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, slightly flattening each with a spatula. Allow each side to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
With a slotted spoon, carefully lift the fritters from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any surplus oil.
Serve your Potato Fritters warm, accompanied by sour cream or applesauce if preferred. Enjoy!
