Description
Crispy and golden-brown potato pancakes, also known as latkes, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 small onion
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes and onion into a bowl to release starches and moisture.
- Add the egg, flour, salt, and pepper to the grated mixture, and mix until combined.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten with a spatula to form pancake shapes.
- Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispiness, let the grated potatoes sit before squeezing out excess moisture. Try adding spices like garlic powder or paprika for additional flavor.
