Peel and grate the potatoes.

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, flour, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

In a skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat.

Form the potato mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Carefully place the patties into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve the fritters warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
