Perfecting Traditional Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ pounds of Russet potatoes (or any starchy potato), peeled and finely grated
  • 1 finely grated yellow onion
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • Frying oil

Instructions:

  1. Grate the potatoes and, using a towel, thoroughly remove all liquid from them. Place the drained potatoes in a large bowl, adding grated onion, salt, eggs, and flour. Mix thoroughly by hand, aiming for a slightly tacky consistency. Adjust with additional flour if too sticky.
  2. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a skillet. Spoon ⅓ to ½ a cup of the mixture into the hot skillet. Fry for three to five minutes on each side until golden. Briefly drain on paper towels.
  3. Serve immediately while hot, paired with applesauce and a dusting of powdered sugar, sour cream, or yogurt. These versatile pancakes can also be served as a delightful side dish with meat and gravy.
