How to Make Whole Foods Simple Potato Pancakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, sliced scallions, chopped onion, egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until just combined.
  4. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, scoop the potato mixture into the hot skillet, flattening each scoop slightly to form a pancake.
  6. Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 with the remaining potato mixture and oil.
  9. Once all pancakes are cooked, bake them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes to ensure they are cooked through and extra crispy.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider topping with your favorite sour cream, chives, or applesauce.
