1 large egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional for extra flavor
1/4 teaspoon paprika optional
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil or more for frying
Sour cream or applesauce for serving, optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture this will help make the pancakes crispier.
Step 2: Make the Potato Pancake Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, egg, flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and parsley.
Mix everything together until it forms a cohesive batter. The mixture should be thick but slightly sticky.
Step 3: Fry the Pancakes
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten it gently with the back of the spoon to form a pancake shape.
Fry the pancakes for 34 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Add more oil to the pan as needed and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 4: Drain and Serve
Once the pancakes are crispy and golden, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the potato pancakes hot with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce, if desired.
Enjoy!
