Description
Delightful crispy potato pancakes that are easy to make and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Grate the russet potatoes. Use a box grater or a food processor to grate them finely. Place the grated potatoes in a clean dish towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Form about 1/4 cup of the mixture into a patty using your hands and carefully place it in the hot oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Serve the potato pancakes warm, topped with sour cream or fresh herbs.

For extra flavor, pair with apple sauce or serve alongside a fresh salad.
