Tips for Perfect Potato Fritters
✔ Don’t skip cooling the potatoes – hot potatoes can make the mixture too sticky.
✔ For extra crispiness, add breadcrumbs to the mixture.
✔ Want more flavor? Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes.
✔ Air-fryer option: Brush the fritters with oil and air-fry at 200°C (400°F) for 12-15 minutes.
