Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- Sour cream or applesauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a large box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
Peel and finely grate the onion. Combine the grated onion with the shredded potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) to the potato mixture. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the pan for each pancake, flattening them with a spatula to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding the rest of the oil as needed.
Serve the hash browns potato pancakes warm with sour cream or applesauce on the side, if desired.
