Ingredients
-
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
-
½ medium yellow onion, chopped
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 large egg
-
½ cup vegetable oil
Directions
-
Rinse shredded potatoes in a colander with cold water until water runs clear. Place in a cheesecloth or clean dish towel and twist tightly to squeeze out all moisture.
-
Place potatoes in a bowl with onion, flour, salt, and pepper. Add egg and mix thoroughly.
-
Heat oil in a shallow, cast iron frying pan. Add potato mixture to the hot oil to form either on large or several smaller pancakes. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel and serve hot.
Cook's Note:
It is very important to heat the oil to cooking temperature before adding the potatoes. This helps keep the potatoes crispy and helps them not to absorb as much oil while cooking.
