How to Make Our Favorite Potato Pancakes
- Peel and shred 2 pounds of russet potatoes using a box grater.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
- Add the shredded potatoes, 1/2 medium yellow onion (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder to the bowl. Gently stir to combine.
- Gradually sprinkle in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Melt 1/4 cup vegetable shortening or oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
- For each pancake, drop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the hot skillet.
- Gently flatten each pancake to about 1/4 inch thickness using a spatula.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping once.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like applesauce, sour cream, or shredded cheese.
