Grate the potato and squeeze out as much liquid as you can in a clean tea towel.
- 2
Mix with the finely sliced onion, 3 tablespoons flour, salt, and pepper.

Heat the oil in the fryer to 180 C. Never leave hot oil unattended, and keep children and pets away. Drop in flattened tablespoons and fry for about 4 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and the potato is cooked.

Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and season. Let the oil cool completely before storing or disposing of it safely.
Storage & leftovers
Best eaten fresh; fried food loses its crunch after refrigeration.
Student tip
Don't overcrowd the fryer basket — frying in batches keeps the oil hot and the coating crisp.
