Ingredients: – 4 large potatoes (peeled and grated) – 1 small onion (grated) – 1 large egg – 2-3 tbsp flour (or more, as needed)
– 1/2 tsp baking powder – Salt and pepper to taste – Oil (vegetable or olive oil) for frying
Prepare Potatoes and Onion Grate the potatoes and onion. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure the pancakes are crispy.
Mix Ingredients In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, egg, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more flour until it holds together.
Heat Oil Heat about 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for even frying.
Form Pancakes Scoop a spoonful of the potato mixture and flatten it into a pancake shape with the back of the spoon. Place it gently into the hot skillet.
Fry the Pancakes Fry the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
Drain Excess Oil Once done, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve Serve hot with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
