DESCRIPTION
This is a simple and delicious fried potato and egg snack that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Made with everyday ingredients like potatoes, eggs, onion, and seasoning, it is a quick comfort food often enjoyed for breakfast, tea-time, or a light meal. The mixture is pan-fried until golden, creating a savory toast-like texture that is both filling and flavorful.

- 1 teaspoon paprika

INSTRUCTION
- Peel and grate the potatoes, then squeeze out excess water.
