Recipe Introduction

"These delights are incredibly delicious on their own. Serve them for breakfast or as a side dish. Just please don't let the kids add ketchup! Unless, of course, you made it yourself."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2 pounds Idaho potatoes
â—¦ ½ cup minced onion
â—¦ 2 eggs, lightly beaten
â—¦ 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon baking powder
â—¦ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
â—¦ ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ Vegetable oil for frying


Recipe

Peel the potatoes and grate them on the large holes of a box grater or using the large grate disc on a food processor. Using a kitchen towel, wring the grated potatoes dry in two batches. Add the potatoes and onion to a mixing bowl, and toss gently with the eggs. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to a depth of â…› inch, and heat it over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pancake mixture by tablespoonfuls. Gently flatten each pancake with the back of a fork, and pan-fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining pancake mixture, adding more oil as needed between batches.
