Step 1
Peel potatoes and grate them into a clean kitchen towel. Wring out as much liquid as possible over the sink.
Step 2
Transfer grated potato to a bowl. Stir in flour, egg, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until combined.
Step 3
Heat 0.25 inch neutral oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Drop 3 tbsp batter per pancake into the oil. Flatten slightly with a spatula and fry 3-4 minutes until bottom edges turn golden brown.
Step 5
Flip pancakes carefully. Fry the other side 2-3 minutes until golden and edges curl up. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Serve warm pancakes with honey, jam, a squeeze of lemon, and hot tea on the side.
