Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

– 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated

– 1 small onion, finely chopped

– 2 large eggs

– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

– 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

– Salt and pepper to taste

– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)

– Sour cream or applesauce (for serving)

Preparation:

1. Prepare the potatoes: Place the grated potatoes in a clean cloth or paper towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Heat the oil: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Cook the pancakes: Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot skillet and flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain and serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream or applesauce.
