Directions

40 min.
1. Step

Peel the potatoes and onion, then grate them using a box grater.

2. Step

Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean dish towel and squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.

3. Step

Transfer the grated and dried potatoes and onion to a bowl. Stir in eggs, flour, salt, and pepper and mix until the flour is absorbed.

4. Step

In a large non-stick pan, heat a shallow pool of oil on medium heat. Once hot, drop in spoonfuls of the potato mixture, pressing them down with the back of the spoon to flatten the pancakes.

5. Step

Fry the pancakes on both sides until they're golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

6. Step

Once cooked, place them on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil. Season with additional salt, if needed.

7. Step

Serve the potato pancakes warm with sour cream or applesauce, if desired.
