Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- Applesauce or sour cream (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes and Onion:
Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Grate the onion and mix it together with the potatoes. - Make the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir everything together until well blended. - Heat the Oil:
Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium heat until hot. - Cook the Pancakes:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the hot oil for each pancake. Flatten gently with the back of a spoon. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. - Drain and Serve:
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with applesauce or sour cream on the side.
