Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 small Onion
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture by wrapping the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and twisting it over a bowl or sink until most of the liquid is drained.
Grate the onion and combine it with the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and add it to the potato-onion mixture.
Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with the olive oil spray.
For each pancake, spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it gently with the back of the spoon to form a round pancake about 4 inches in diameter.
Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, reapplying oil spray as necessary between batches.
Serve warm with a dollop of non-fat plain Greek yogurt on top or on the side for added moisture and tang.
