Ingredients

Scale
  1. 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and grated
  2. ½ small onion, finely chopped
  3. 2 large eggs
  4. ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  5. ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  6. ½ teaspoon salt
  7. ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  8. 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  9. 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  10. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  11. Sour cream or applesauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Grate the Potatoes:
    Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  • Mix the Batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

  • Heat the Oil:
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Form the Pancakes:
    Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening them with the back of a spoon.

  • Fry the Pancakes:
    Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  • Drain Excess Oil:
    Drain excess oil by placing the pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.

 

  • Serve:
    Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and dill (if using), and enjoy with sour cream or applesauce.

Notes

  • You can adjust the seasoning by adding more herbs like thyme or chives for additional flavor.
  • If you want to make them gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

 

  • These pancakes are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
