INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🥔 2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
    • 🧅 ½ medium onion, finely chopped

  • Dry Goods

    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • Dairy & Eggs

    • 🥚 1 large egg

  • Oils & Seasonings

    • 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
    • 🧂 salt and pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl and mix in the onion, flour, and egg until evenly distributed.

3

Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes.

4

Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.

5

Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

6

Serve hot and enjoy!

💡 Rinsing the shredded potatoes removes excess starch, helping them become crispier when fried.If you don't have russet potatoes, other starchy varieties like Yukon Gold can work as substitutes.Make smaller pancake-like portions for easier flipping and even crisping.Use a neutral oil such as vegetable or canola oil for frying to avoid overpowering the flavor.
