Ingredients
- 2 cups grated potatoes (russet or yukon gold)
- 1 small onion, grated
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel, twist the towel, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Combine the grated potatoes and onion in a mixing bowl. Add the egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a large skillet until shimmering but not smoking.
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the potato mixture and flatten it slightly in the skillet. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure you remove as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes for a crispier texture.
