Method
- Peel and shred the potatoes. Place in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded potatoes, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, onion, and baking powder. Mix well until combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Scoop about ¼ cup of the potato mixture, flatten it slightly, and drop into the hot skillet.
- Cook each pancake for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with applesauce or sour cream.
Notes
Squeeze potatoes well—this makes them extra crispy.
Add shredded cheese or spices for a flavor twist.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days, or freeze for 2 months. Always reheat in the oven or skillet to keep them crisp.
