Potato Pancakes

These potato pancakes are wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Ingredients

  • potatoes (4 large)
  • yellow onion (1 )
  • egg (1 large)
  • salt (1 teaspoon)
  • black pepper (0 )
  • flour (2 tablespoons)
  • vegetable oil (1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to low, about 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  2. Finely grate potatoes and onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
  3. Mix in egg, salt, and pepper. Add enough flour to make the mixture thick, about 2 to 4 tablespoons all together.
  4. Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Drop two or three 1/4-cup mounds of batter into hot oil, and flatten with back of a spatula to make 1/2-inch-thick pancakes.
  5. Fry, turning pancakes once, until golden brown. Transfer pancakes to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Keep warm in the oven until serving. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.
  6. Serve warm, enjoy!
