Instructions

Place shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine shredded potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, onion, egg, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and flatten into a patty. Place in the skillet and repeat with remaining mixture.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if needed.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze out moisture from potatoes to ensure crispiness.
Use a mix of cheeses for different flavor profiles.
Can be frozen after cooking and reheated in an oven or air fryer.
