Equipment
- heavy skillet
- Grater
- spatula
- paper towels
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or more as needed
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying or as needed
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Finely grate potatoes and onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
- Mix in egg, salt, and pepper. Add enough flour to make the mixture thick, about 2 to 4 tablespoons all together.
- Heat ¼ inch of oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Drop ¼-cup mounds of batter, two or three at a time, into hot oil and flatten with back of a spatula to make ½-inch-thick pancakes.
- Fry, turning pancakes once, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. Keep warm in the preheated oven until ready to serve. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.
- Serve warm.
