How to Make Golden Potato Pancakes
- Crack and beat 2 large eggs in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until just combined.
- Gently fold in 4 cups shredded potatoes (about 2 lbs), 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 1 medium), 1/2 cup chopped green onions, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil (about 2 cups) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to monitor temperature, aiming for around 350°F (175°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture (about 1/4 cup each) into the hot oil, leaving space between each pancake.
- Gently flatten each pancake to a 1 1/2-inch round using a spatula.
- Pan-fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully using a spatula.
- Remove pancakes from skillet and place on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Add more oil to the skillet as needed between batches. Maintain the oil temperature consistently.
- Serve immediately, warm, with your favorite applesauce or syrup.
- Enjoy!
