This is my granddad’s fave recipe ever. The house smells amazing whenever I make it

Ingredients

1 pound potatoes, peeled and grated

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 egg, beaten

3 tablespoons flour

Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetable oil, for frying

Optional for serving: apple sauce, sour cream, smoked salmon, sauerkraut

Preparation

Start by grating the potatoes, then wrap them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove excess moisture.

Combine the grated potatoes with the finely chopped onion in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and add flour, salt, and pepper, stirring until smooth.

Fold the egg mixture into the potatoes and onions, ensuring everything is well combined.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil to coat the bottom.

Scoop a generous amount of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it with a spatula to form a pancake. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry each pancake for 3-4 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Serve hot, with your choice of toppings and sides.

Pro Tips:

Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven if you’re not serving immediately.

Leftovers? Refrigerate and reheat in an oven or toaster oven for best results.
