Ingredients
Instructions
Onions and potatoes are peeled.
We rub the potatoes on a grater. Also grate the onion and add to the potatoes. If the potatoes and onions are too juicy, you need to squeeze them and drain the excess liquid. Then the potato pancakes will not spread over the pan and will fry evenly.
Break the egg into the potato mixture. We also add salt to taste (about 1/2 tablespoon), ground pepper and spices to your taste.
Next, add flour. Flour for five large potatoes, we took about 3 tbsp. heaped spoons. Thoroughly mix the potato mass until smooth.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the pan and wait until it warms up well. Using a spoon, gently spoon the potato mixture onto the pan. Do not make pancakes too thick, otherwise they may remain damp inside.
Fry pancakes over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. We shift the finished potato pancakes to a plate and serve to the table. If desired, the dish can be decorated with green onions. Bon Appetit!
