In intermediate cooking this week we reviewed some of the steps that it takes to get to the final part of cooking- eating. So first, make sure you have all the ingredients below, if not head to the store! Afterwards, follow this quick and easy recipe to make potato pancakes!
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour, or more, as needed
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
Directions
- Finely grate potatoes and onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
- Mix in egg, salt, and pepper. Add enough flour to make the mixture thick, about 2 to 4 tablespoons all together.
- Preheat the oven to low, about 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drop two or three 1/4-cup mounds of batter into hot oil, and flatten with back of a spatula to make 1/2-inch-thick pancakes. Fry, turning pancakes once, until golden brown.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Keep warm in the oven until serving. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.
