Instructions:
Grate and Squeeze the Potatoes:
Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
Wrap the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. This ensures crispy pancakes.
Combine the Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, minced onion, beaten egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Scoop the potato mixture by heaping tablespoons and flatten them slightly with a spatula to form pancakes.
Don’t overcrowd the pan, cook the pancakes in batches if needed.
Fry to Golden Brown:
Fry the pancakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve:
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, applesauce, smoked salmon, or salsa.
