Ingredients

4 servings

  • 2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
  • 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
  • ΒΌ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Follow these steps in order for best results.

  1. Step 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. Step 2

    Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl and mix in the onion, flour, and egg until evenly distributed.

  3. Step 3

    Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2-inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes.

  4. Step 4

    Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot and enjoy!
