Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 small onion
- 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 cup sour cream optional for serving
Instructions
- Peel and grate the potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- To the bowl, add flour, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them with the back of the spoon to form pancakes.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Serve hot with optional sour cream.
