Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0 Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and carrots. Using a box grater or food processor, shred them finely.

Step 2

Place the shredded potatoes and carrots in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to ensure crispy pancakes.

Step 3

Transfer the shredded vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Swirl the oil around to coat the pan evenly.

Step 5

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each pancake and flatten it gently with a spatula in the skillet. Cook 3-4 pancakes at a time without overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Fry the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the Carrot Potato Pancakes hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
