Step 1
Peel and grate the 2 large potatoes and 1 medium onion. Squeeze out excess liquid, then mix with 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp chili powder, and salt. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped cilantro.
Step 2
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture, flattening slightly. Cook until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 3
Remove fritters and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, add remaining 1/4 cup oil and the sliced onion. Cook until soft and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle the cooked onions with a pinch of salt and remaining cilantro. Serve the fritters topped with the spiced onions.
