- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
1. Grate Potatoes:
- Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

5. Fry the Fritters:
- Carefully place the formed fritters into the hot oil. Fry each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Drain Excess Oil:
- Once the fritters are golden brown and crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Repeat:
- Repeat the process until all the potato mixture is used, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
