Prepare the Potatoes: Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. This will help achieve a crispier texture.
Make the Fritter Batter: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and flour. If desired, add in the fresh parsley for an extra burst of flavor. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
Fry the Fritters: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop spoonfuls of the potato mixture and form into small patties. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
Make the Spicy Mayo Caper Sauce: While the fritters are frying, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the level of heat by adding more hot sauce if you prefer it spicier.
Serve: Once the fritters are crispy and golden, remove them from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve the fritters hot with a generous drizzle of the spicy mayo caper sauce.
