How to Make Potato Pancakes
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and grate 4 large potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps make them extra crispy!
Step 2: Mix the Batter
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 3: Fry the Pancakes
- Heat ¼ cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Scoop about ¼ cup of the potato mixture and flatten it into a pancake shape.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Serve warm with sour cream, applesauce, or fresh herbs for extra flavor!
Tips for the Best Potato Pancakes
🔹 Use starchy potatoes like russets for extra crispiness.
🔹 Remove excess moisture from grated potatoes to prevent sogginess.
🔹 Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in batches for even cooking.
🔹 For extra crispiness, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the mixture.
🔹 Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to keep them crispy.
