Grate the peeled potatoes and transfer them to a clean tea towel. Squeeze the towel to remove any excess liquid.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, flour, baking powder, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well.
Heat enough vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan.
Using a spoon, scoop the potato mixture and drop it into the pan, then flatten each fritter slightly with a spatula.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side until they become golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the potato fritters hot as a side dish or with your preferred dipping sauce.
