🥔 Crispy Classic Potato Pancakes! 🥞
Discover the magic of these simple yet irresistible Classic Potato Pancakes! Perfectly crispy and full of flavor. Let's get cooking!
Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes
1 medium onion
2 eggs
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp sea salt (or to taste)
¼ tsp pepper (or to taste)
2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
If using a food processor, peel and cube the potatoes and onion. Process until they resemble grated potatoes with no lumps. If using a grater, peel and grate the potatoes and onion.
Place the potato mixture into a fine strainer or kitchen towel, and squeeze out most of the liquid into a mixing bowl. Keep the potato starch that settles at the bottom of the bowl.
Return the potato mixture to the bowl and add eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and the reserved potato starch. Mix thoroughly.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add spoonfuls of the potato mixture, flattening slightly. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Place the pancakes on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Enjoy!
Serve with sour cream, applesauce, or yogurt. You can also freeze and reheat them later for a quick snack. Happy cooking! 🍽️😋
