Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes (peeled and grated)
- 1 small onion (finely grated)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes using a coarse grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, egg, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Heat the Oil: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Form the Pancakes: Scoop spoonfuls of the potato mixture and gently shape them into small round patties. Place them in the hot skillet.
- Fry the Pancakes: Cook the potato pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately, garnished with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings.
Enjoy your crispy and savory potato pancakes!
