Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- Sour cream or applesauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Form pancakes: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening them with the back of a spoon.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil by placing the pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and dill (if using), and enjoy with sour cream or applesauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure to remove as much moisture from the potatoes as possible.
- You can swap all-purpose flour with almond flour for a low-carb version.
- Try adding grated cheese for an even richer flavor!
