Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them into a large bowl using a box grater.
Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step helps the cakes hold together and become crispy.
In the same bowl, combine the squeezed grated potatoes, one egg, all-purpose flour, finely chopped green onions, black pepper, salt, and paprika. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the potato mixture into your hands and form it into a flat, round patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Place the patties into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the potato cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the fried potato cakes hot as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped green onions or serve with sour cream or ketchup as a dipping sauce.
