Ingredients
- 4 Russet potatoes peeled and grated, approx. 4 cups
- 1 medium sweet onion peeled, and grated
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup vegetable oil more may be needed
- sour cream or applesauce for serving
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes. Grate the potatoes and onion with the large holes of a box grater.
- Add the potatoes and onion to the center of a clean kitchen towel. Close the towel and twist it to remove as much moisture as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, flour, kosher salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and no flour lumps remain.
- Add the potato mixture to the bowl and mix well to combine.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot add four ¼ cup-sized scoops of the potato mixture into the hot oil. If you do not hear a sizzle when the potato mixture is added, the oil is not hot enough.
- Use a spatula to gently press the potato mixture down to form a pancake.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until deep golden brown, adding more oil if needed.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt to taste.
- If desired, serve with applesauce or sour cream.
Notes
- As batches of potato pancakes are cooking they can be kept warm in a 275°F oven.
- Shredded hash browns can be used in place of potatoes, omit the salt from the recipe.
