Prepare the Potatoes:

1. Grate the Potatoes: Begin by finely grating the potatoes. Place them in a colander and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a paper towel or a clean kitchen cloth.

2. Mix Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Shape the Potato Squares:

1. Form the Squares: On a flat surface or large plate, spread the potato mixture into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the mixture into small squares, approximately 1 inch on each side.

Fry the Potato Squares:

1. Heat the Oil: In a skillet or frying pan, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
2. Fry Until Golden: Fry the potato squares in batches, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
3. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried squares from the oil and place them on absorbent paper to drain any excess oil.

Serve and Enjoy:

1. Serve Hot: Serve the warm, crispy potato squares as a side dish or a delightful snack.
