🛒 Ingredients:
- 2 pounds potatoes (russet or starchy)
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- Oil for frying (vegetable or sunflower)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Peel & Grate the Potatoes
Peel potatoes and grate using the coarse side of a box grater. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. The drier the better for crispy pancakes!
2️⃣ Combine the Mix
In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined. The mixture should hold together but not be too wet.
3️⃣ Heat the Oil
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F / 175°C).
4️⃣ Fry the Pancakes
Scoop about 1/4 cup of mixture per pancake into the pan. Flatten gently with a spatula. Fry 2–3 minutes per side or until deep golden brown and crisp.
5️⃣ Drain & Serve
Place cooked pancakes on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with applesauce or sour cream.
🍽 Serving Tips:
- Great as a side dish or main with salad.
- For a savory twist, add chopped herbs or a pinch of nutmeg.
- You can reheat leftovers in the oven to keep them crispy!
