Ingredients
Scale
4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and grated
1 small onion, finely grated
2 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional: 1/4 cup fresh herbs (like parsley or chives), chopped for freshness
Instructions
Prep the potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add drained potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add fresh herbs if desired. Stir until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Heat the oil: In a large skillet, pour 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high. To test, drop a bit of batter into the oil; if it sizzles, it's ready.
Fry the pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of potato mixture and gently place into hot oil. Flatten slightly with a spoon, and fry until edges are golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Drain and serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Keep warm in a low oven while finishing the remaining batter.
