Prepare Potatoes: Grate the potatoes and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to ensure crispiness.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley (if using). Mix until well combined.
Heat Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet to a depth of about ¼ inch. Heat over medium heat until shimmering.
Fry Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly with a spatula. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain: Remove fritters from the skillet and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
