Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 eggs

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley, chopped

• Vegetable oil for frying

• Optional: Serve with sour cream or applesauce

Instructions:

Drain the Potatoes:

• After I grate the potatoes, I place them in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Mix the Ingredients:

• In a spacious bowl, I combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and optional herbs. I ensure thorough mixing.

Heat the Oil:

• In a large skillet, I heat a thin layer of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Form and Fry the Pancakes:

• For each pancake, I spoon a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the skillet. I flatten it with a spatula and fry until both sides are golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain:

• I transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serve:

• I serve the potato pancakes hot and, if desired, accompany them with sour cream or applesauce.
