Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• Oil for frying

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender. Drain the water and mash the potatoes until smooth.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, parsley, onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a small patty. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
4. In a shallow dish, beat the eggs. Place the flour in another shallow dish.
5. Dip each potato patty into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
6. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the coated patties into the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve the potato cutlets hot with ketchup or your favorite sauce.
