How to Make Mom's Awesome Potato Pancakes
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy pancakes.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- For each pancake, drop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture onto the hot skillet. Flatten slightly with a spatula.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, chives, or smoked salmon.
