Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or butter)
- 0 Sour cream (optional for serving)
- 0 Chives (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and onion, then grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Step 2
Transfer the grated potatoes and onion to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible into a bowl and discard the liquid.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained potato and onion mixture with eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a batter.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the hot skillet for each pancake. Flatten the batter slightly with the back of a spoon to form a round pancake shape.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches and add more oil as needed.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives, if desired.
