These potato pancakes are delicious! Highly recommended. Great with sour cream and/or apple sauce. I have another recipe for potato pancakes that's a little less work (it doesn't require grating the potatoes, you just blend them), I'll have to compare them sometime! This recipe uses the starch from the potatoes as the binding agent as opposed to flour or cornstarch.
- ~2 lbs potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 egg
- 4 scallions
- 2 tbsp parsley
- Grate potatoes and onion
- Drain potatoes/onion in a sieve over a bowl, squeezing out any excess water
- Wait 5 min, and gently pour liquid off of top of drained liquid, reserving the thicker potato stach at the bottom
- In the bowl with the potato starch, add egg, scallions, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix.
- Mix egg mixture into the grated potatoes.
- Add 5-6 tbsp of oil to a pan over med heat.
- Add about 1/4 cup of pancake mixture to the pan at a time and press down with spoon so pancakes are ~1/2" thick
- Cook for ~3min on each side
