Peel the potatoes, then use a julienne peeler, spiralizer or shredder to shred the potatoes into thin strips. Place all strips into a medium bowl.
Add the egg, flour, spices and parsley (amount of spices and parsley varies according to taste, but not more than 1/2 teaspoon of each). Mix well with your hands.
Heat an electric griddle to 400 degrees and add a little vegetable oil.
Form the potato pancakes by measuring out 1/2 cup of the potato mixture. Place on the electric griddle and press down firmly with the spatula to form a pancake.
Fry on each side for about 6-8 minutes or until the potatoes turn a golden brown and get firm.
Place on a paper towel lined plate to let excess oil drain.
