Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor with a shredding attachment.
Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Finely dice the yellow onion and set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, diced onion, flour, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and carefully flatten it into a 3-inch round patty. Repeat until the skillet is full but not overcrowded.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the Betty Browns hot with your favorite condiments, such as sour cream, ketchup, or applesauce.
