Description

Delicious and crispy potato pancakes made with grated potatoes and onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
  2. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes, chopped onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  4. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  5. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, flatten slightly with a spatula, and fry for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil before serving warm with your choice of toppings.
