Delicate Potato Fritters with Ranch Dressing

Grate the potatoes and squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean towel.
In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes, flour, egg, chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Fry the Fritters:

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Drop small portions of the potato mixture into the pan, flattening each portion slightly to form delicate, crispy fritters.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel.
