Description
Ingredients
– 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
– 1 small onion, grated
– 1 large egg
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil)
– Sour cream and chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
1. **Prepare the Potatoes and Onion:** Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
2. **Mix the Batter:** In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
3. **Fry the Pancakes:** Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture for each pancake, flattening them slightly in the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. **Serve:** Serve warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
Notes
**Tip:** Serve alongside applesauce or smoked salmon for a delicious twist.
**Chef’s Note:** For extra crispiness, make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes before mixing.
