Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes into a large bowl.

Sprinkle with 2 pinches of salt and let sit for 5 minutes.

Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Mix the Ingredients: In the bowl with the grated potatoes, add the paprika, black pepper, chopped parsley, and cornstarch. Mix well to combine.

Beat the egg and add it to the potato mixture. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

Form the Patties: Take a handful of the potato mixture and form it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Coat each patty in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well covered on all sides.

Cook the Patties: Heat a generous amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serve: Serve the crispy potato and egg patties hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy as a snack or pair with a salad for a light meal.
