Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel and grate the 2 large potatoes. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes with 1 egg, 2 tbsp flour, and 0.5 tsp salt until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them into pancakes.

  4. Step 4

    Cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, another 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil if needed.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of your favorite red sauce (like ketchup or hot sauce).
