How to Make Old Fashion Potato Pancakes
- Peel and grate the potatoes and onion. Place them in a large bowl and gently toss to combine. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow excess moisture to release.
- Drain off any excess liquid from the potato and onion mixture using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
- Add the beaten eggs to the potato and onion mixture. Stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot (a pinch of batter should sizzle immediately), drop spoonfuls of the potato batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook the potato pancakes for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Remove the cooked potato pancakes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the potato pancakes immediately with your choice of warm cinnamon applesauce or sour cream and chives.
