Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 medium Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Grate the onion and combine it with the grated potatoes in a mixing bowl.
Add the eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture for each pancake and flatten slightly in the skillet to form a round shape.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve the potato pancakes warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite topping.
