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.
