Categories     Potatoes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and chunked
1 large onion, quartered
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs or panko crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a food processor, process the potatoes and onions, in batches, until finely chopped. Empty each batch into a strainer and, using a spoon, press down on the mixture to remove as much water as possible. In a large bowl, combine the drained potato-onion mixture, the flour, bread crumbs, baking powder, salt, pepper, and eggs; mix well. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using a serving spoon, spoon about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake into the hot oil, flattening into a pancake shape. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden on both sides. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter and serve warm. Make these small if you want to serve them as appetizers. Serve with the traditional fixin's of applesauce and sour cream

These pancakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

I had trouble getting the pancakes to brown evenly. Some of them were burnt while others were still raw in the middle.

These pancakes were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I've made potato pancakes before, but this recipe is by far the best. The pancakes were crispy and golden brown, and they held together perfectly.

These potato pancakes were a hit! My family loved them. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making them again.
