The potato and onion fritters are an incredibly delicious recipe, super quick and easy to prepare. I didn’t know what to make for dinner, the fridge and pantry were practically empty, I had a couple of potatoes, an onion, and I prepared these quick savory crisis-saving fritters, which were a hit. The potato and onion fritters are golden, crispy outside and soft inside, you can make them in 5 minutes without eggs and without yeast, they are vegetarian, vegan, and also gluten-free if you use rice flour (same amount as all-purpose), perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. If you don’t want to fry, you can also bake them in the oven or use an air fryer!

Steps
Potato and onion fritters are super easy and quick to prepare. First, peel the potatoes, grate them with a large-hole grater, and squeeze to remove excess liquids.
Add the onion sliced very thin (if you have a mandoline, use it), salt, black pepper, spices to taste (I used paprika, garlic powder, and rosemary), all-purpose flour, or mix all ingredients well.
Pour the oil into a pan and heat it. Take a bit of the mixture with a spoon to form the potato and onion fritters, let them cook over medium heat for about 7 minutes, flip them and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, they should be well golden.
Once cooked, drain the potato and onion fritters on paper towels and serve them hot and crispy.
Notes:
Potato and onion fritters can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. You can also fry them in seed oil. If you want to bake them in the oven or air fryer, brush them first with a little extra virgin olive oil. To make them tastier, you can add some grated Parmesan to the mixture.
