Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a coarse grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 2
Peel and grate the onion. Combine the grated onion with the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Spoon the potato mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly to form a thick pancake. Press gently with a spatula to flatten.
Step 6
Cook the potato cake for about 10-12 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the cake using a large spatula or by sliding it onto a plate and flipping it back into the pan.
Step 7
Add the remaining butter and oil to the skillet. Cook the other side for another 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the potato cake to a cutting board and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own with sour cream or a dipping sauce of your choice.
