These Eastern European potato pancakes offer a crisp exterior and a soft, tender centre. They are straightforward to prepare, making them an ideal choice for a weekend breakfast, a brunch addition, or a classic side dish to accompany main courses like pork. The recipe combines shredded potato and onion bound with egg and flour, then pan-fried until golden. Expect to make about ten pancakes from this batch, ready in roughly 40 minutes.

Ingredients

5 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Method

Put the shredded potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and wring it to remove any extra moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the shredded potatoes, chopped onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet and place it on the stove. For each batch, add large spoonfuls of the potato mixture to the hot skillet. Gently press down on each portion with a spatula. Fry them for about 4 minutes on each side until they are crisp and golden brown. Keep the cooked pancakes warm as you prepare the rest. Serve immediately while hot.
