Step 1
Peel potatoes, then shred them on a box grater or microplane directly into a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Gather the towel and squeeze hard over the sink until potatoes release as much liquid as possible.
Step 3
Finely mince the onion half, then toss squeezed potatoes, onion, flour, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Step 4
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 5
Drop 3-inch patties of potato mixture into the skillet, flatten with a spatula, and fry 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy at the edges.
Step 6
Transfer pancakes to a plate, top with sour cream and chives, and serve immediately while still hot.
