Steps:
- On a box grater, coarsely shred the onion and potato. Transfer to a colander or wrap in a cheesecloth sling, and squeeze as dry as possible. Let stand for 2 minutes, then squeeze dry again. Put the potatoes in a large bowl, add the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder and egg, and gently fold to combine.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil until shimmering. Drop heaping tablespoons of the potatoes into the skillet and flatten them with the back of the spoon. Cook the pancakes over moderately high heat until the edges are golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the potato pancakes topped with Chunky Granny Smith Applesauce and a small dollop of Cinnamon Creme Fraiche.
- Cook's Note: Reheat the pancakes in a single layer on a cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven until they're crisp again. If you undercooked them a bit or didn't get the browning on them you'd hoped for, you can compensate for this in the oven.
- To a large pot, combine 1 cup water, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and apples. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste for sweetness and add more sugar if desired. Coarsely mash to a chunky consistency. Let cool to room temperature.;
- Whisk together creme fraiche and cinnamon, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.;

Steps:
- Grate potatoes on large holes of a box grater into long strips over a large bowl of cold water. Drain potatoes, reserving liquid, and pat dry.
- Let reserved liquid stand for 10 minutes. Carefully pour liquid from bowl, discarding liquid but reserving milky residue (potato starch) at bottom. Stir drained potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, and salt into bowl with starch, and season with pepper.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large, heavy skillet until it registers 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer (or until a breadcrumb dropped into oil sizzles and turns brown in 15 seconds). Scoop heaping tablespoons of potato mixture, squeezing out excess liquid, and carefully place in skillet. (You may need to work in batches.) Press pancakes lightly with a spatula to flatten, and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Keep pancakes warm in oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve each pancake with a dollop of applesauce and creme fraiche.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes. This will give the pancakes a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Be sure to grate the potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
- Heat the oil over medium heat before adding the potato pancakes. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the potato pancakes in batches so that they don't crowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly.
- Serve the potato pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as chunky gingerede applesauce, sour cream, or maple syrup.
Conclusion:
Potato pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect potato pancakes every time.
