Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel potatoes, then shred them on a box grater or microplane directly into a clean kitchen towel.

  2. Step 2

    Gather the towel and squeeze hard over the sink until potatoes release as much liquid as possible.

  3. Step 3

    Finely mince the onion half, then toss squeezed potatoes, onion, flour, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer pancakes to a plate, top with sour cream and chives, and serve immediately while still hot.
