WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS OF POTATO PANCAKES?

Potato pancake is easy to make and calls for simple ingredients:

• Russet potatoes
• Yellow onion
• Egg
• All-purpose flour 
• Salt
• Ground black pepper 

You will also need cooking oil for pan-frying the pancakes, and sour cream to serve. 

HOW TO MAKE POTATO PANCAKES?

First, grate the peeled potatoes and onion in a bowl. Whisk the egg and sift all-purpose flour. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and set it aside. 

Heat a frying pan or skillet with oil on medium-high. Scoop the potato pancake mixture into the pan, flatten, and round the pancake with the back of the spoon. Fry each side for 5 minutes or until golden brown. 

Place the fried potato pancakes on the plate lined with towel papers to absorb the excess oil. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream.

COOK’S TIPS

Since the potatoes are starchy and oxidized quickly, rinse and drain the grated potatoes before combining them with other ingredients. This step makes a crispy exterior instead of a soggy crust. 

Shallow-fry the pancakes on medium-high heat; add more oil if needed.
