Steps
Follow these steps to make crispy potato cakes:

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Start by peeling the potatoes and grating them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3: Shape the Potato Cakes

Take a handful of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used. You should be able to make approximately 8 potato cakes.

Step 4: Cook the Potato Cakes
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the potato cakes in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Variations
Here are a few variations you can try with this crispy potato cakes recipe:

Adding Cheese
If you’re a cheese lover, consider adding grated cheddar or Parmesan cheese to the potato mixture before shaping the cakes. This will give the potato cakes an extra savory flavor.

Spicy Twist
If you prefer some heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the potato mixture. This will give the potato cakes a spicy kick.
