Prepare the ingredients: Start by peeling and grating the potato using the medium or fine holes of a box grater. Mince the chicken finely if not using ground chicken. Finely mince the onion.

Make the fritter batter: In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, grated potato, minced onion, beaten eggs, cornstarch, and mayonnaise. Mix in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and your choice of dry herbs and spices. Stir everything together until you have a well-mixed batter.

Heat the oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you drop in a bit of the fritter mixture, but not so hot that the fritters burn before cooking through.

Fry the fritters: Using a spoon or small scoop, drop portions of the batter into the hot oil, pressing them gently to flatten into fritters. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked in the center.

Drain and serve: Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces or a fresh salad on the side.
