Description

Enjoy my simple and tasty Potato Pancakes, perfect for breakfast. Crispy outside, soft inside, they’re a cozy treat for everyone!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 fresh range eggs
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. After grating the potatoes, wrap them in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and optional herbs. Mix well.
  3. Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. For each pancake, spoon a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the skillet or the lovely FLIP pan. Flatten it slightly with a spatula.
  5. Fry each pancake until both sides are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve hot with your choice of sour cream or applesauce.
