1. Prepare the Potatoes:

• Peel and grate the potatoes using a coarse grater.
• Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic.
• Add the raw egg, flour, salt, and pepper, then mix until everything is well combined.

3. Shape and Fry the Patties:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Take small portions of the potato mixture and shape them into patties.
• Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
• Place the cooked patties on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. Prepare the Filling:

• In a small bowl, mix the chopped hard-boiled eggs, grated cheese, and mayonnaise until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

5. Assemble the Crispy Potato Delight:

• Once the patties have cooled slightly, spread a spoonful of the egg-and-cheese filling on top of each patty.
• For added presentation, sprinkle fresh herbs or additional grated cheese on top.

6. Serve:

• Serve the crispy potato patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a standalone treat.
