Description
A potato pancake recipe that uses flour to thicken
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 potatoes (1.5 pounds)
- 1 small onion
- 1 small egg
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel potatoes and grate on the fine side of the grater
- Grate onion
- Drain potatoes and onion
- In a bowl, beat egg, stir in flour, salt, and pepper until smooth
- Add drained potatoes and onion, stirring until well combined
- Heat 1/4 inch oil in frying pan over medium-high heat
- Add potato batter, 1/4 cup at a time
- Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter until the pancake is about 1/2 inch thick, I was able to make 3 at a time
- Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, my frying pan is larger than the largest burner, so I also rotated them half way through each side to keep the middle from cooking and the outside edge from not getting dark enough
- Drain on paper towels.
