Equipment

  • Grater
  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Russet Potatoes
  • 1 small Yellow Onion
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Large Egg
  • Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  • Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Grate them and the onion into a bowl.
  • If excess liquid is present, drain it off to maintain the batter's consistency.
  • Add salt, and pepper if desired, along with flour and egg to the potato-onion mixture. Combine well.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and scoop the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly.
  • Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.
  • Once all pancakes are fried once, re-fry them briefly for an extra crunch.
  • Serve the potato pancakes hot with your preferred toppings, be it sweet or savory.

Notes

To preserve the crispy texture, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a skillet for a fresh, delicious crunch.
