Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes
- Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This ensures your pancakes are crispy!
2️⃣ Mix the Batter
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
3️⃣ Heat the Oil
- Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
4️⃣ Fry the Pancakes
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten it slightly with a spatula.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5️⃣ Serve and Enjoy
- Serve hot with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy the crunchy, golden goodness!
Tips for Perfect Potato Pancakes
- Remove Moisture: Squeezing the grated potatoes dry is key to achieving crispy pancakes.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Fry the pancakes in batches to ensure even cooking.
- Use Neutral Oil: Vegetable oil or canola oil works best for frying.
