Let’s Make Potato Pancakes!
Peel and grate the potatoes. Wrap the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Finely chop the onion. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Add the potatoes and onion; stir to combine.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly. Fry 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Repeat until all the mixture is used. Serve immediately!
Variations
- Add grated zucchini or carrots.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese while cooking.
- Serve with sour cream and chives.

Keto-Friendly Option
