Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes (peeled and washed)
- 1 large Onion (omit if you want to serve them with sugar)
- 1 large Egg
- 1/3 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Grate the peeled potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, egg, flour, salt, and black pepper (if using).
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly to form pancakes.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot, optionally with sour cream or applesauce.
Notes
- For a sweeter version, omit the onion and serve with sugar or applesauce.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- These pancakes can be kept warm in the oven while frying the remaining batches.
