Potato and Ham Fritters

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Peel and grate the potatoes using a coarse grater.
   • Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible to prevent soggy fritters.
2. Mix the Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, chopped ham, shredded cheese, onion, parsley, salt, and pepper.
   • Add the flour and mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly combined. The mixture should hold together well.
3. Fry the Fritters:
   • Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Using a spoon, scoop portions of the potato mixture into the pan. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of the spoon to create patties.
   • Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
4. Drain and Serve:
   • Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
   • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or Greek yogurt.
