Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded potatoes
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of oil to coat the bottom.
- In a large bowl, mix shredded potatoes, chopped onions, shredded cheese, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Make sure the oil in your skillet is shimmering but not smoking.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and flatten it into a patty. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Fry each pancake for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Place cooked pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt while hot.
- Serve warm with your favorite dip or topping.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for the crispiest texture.
- Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture from potatoes to avoid soggy pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking for better binding.
