Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Chives
- 5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with the shredding blade.
Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the chives and add them to the potatoes.
Add the flour, eggs, melted butter, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture per pancake and place it into the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to form a pancake shape.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the potato chive pancakes warm, optionally topped with sour cream.
