Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten into a pancake shape. Carefully place in the hot oil.
- Fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite topping.
Notes
- For extra crispy pancakes, fry them in small batches and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- You can substitute gluten-free flour for the all-purpose flour if needed.
