Description

Crispy and golden potato pancakes, made with simple ingredients, are a comforting dish perfect for any meal. These pancakes are packed with flavor and can be enjoyed with sour cream or applesauce for a delightful treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley, chopped
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional: Serve with sour cream or applesauce

Instructions

  • Drain the Potatoes: After grating the potatoes, place them in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a spacious bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and optional herbs. Mix thoroughly.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  • Form and Fry the Pancakes: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the skillet for each pancake. Flatten it with a spatula and fry until both sides are golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Drain: Transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve: Serve the potato pancakes hot, accompanied by sour cream or applesauce if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the potatoes are well-drained for crispy pancakes.
  • You can experiment with different herbs for added flavor.
