How to Make Potato Cakes
- Peel and grate 2 large potatoes.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy cakes.
- In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the potato cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy! Consider adding your favorite toppings like sour cream, chives, or a sprinkle of paprika.
