Ingredients
-
6 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated (about 5 lb.)
-
1/2 yellow onion, grated (about 3/4 cup)
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
2/3 cup Clarified Butter
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
-
Rinse grated potatoes in a colander with hot water. (Hot water will act as a blanch to prevent discoloration.) Drain and squeeze the potatoes to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
-
Place potatoes, onion, and eggs in a bowl, and stir to combine. Stir together flour and salt in a small bowl until combined; gradually add to potato mixture, stirring until combined.
-
Heat Clarified Butter in a large skillet or on an electric griddle over medium-high. Drop 6 to 8 loosely packed 1/4 cupfuls of potato mixture into hot butter; press lightly with a spatula to flatten into 3-inch rounds.
-
Reduce temperature to medium, and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with pepper; serve warm.
