Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb potato (about 2 medium or 3 small Russets or other starchy potato)
1/2 onion
3/4-1 teaspoon salt (start with a lower amount, you can add salt at the table)
ground pepper
freshly ground nutmeg (optional and to taste)
1 egg
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Peel and grate potatoes (or use frozen or refrigerated hashbrowns). Place the grated potatoes in a clean dishcloth or cheesecloth and squeeze the liquid out of them into a bowl. Let the liquid stand a few minutes, then drain the liquid, leaving potato starch at the bottom of the bowl. Add the potatoes.
  • Grate the onion over the potatoes. Add dried onion flakes for part or all of the onion, if you like. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and egg. Mix thoroughly.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan. You can use a non-stick pan and just a few drops of oil, if you wish, but for best results use 1/8 to 1/4 inch of oil.
  • Using about 1/2 cup, drop the potato mixture into hot oil and flatten with the back of a spoon. Fry 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with applesauce and maybe a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I'm going to try making these pancakes with sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.

I had trouble getting the pancakes to brown evenly. They were burnt on one side and undercooked on the other.

The pancakes were a little bland. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they turned out great. I also added some chopped onion and garlic to the batter.
