Ingredients
- 2 medium peeled russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- Sour cream and chives (for serving)
- Apple Sauce (for serving)
Directions
- Grate potatoes into a large bowl using the large holes on a box grater. Season with a teaspoon coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper and let stand 10 minutes; stir to blend in any liquid. Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Drop in rounded tablespoons of potatoes and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden-brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total, then drain on paper towels. Repeat with more oil and remaining potatoes. Serve with sour cream and chives or applesauce alongside.

My mamala taught me to add an egg and a little matzo meal with the grated onion and potatoes.
Yes, I agree with 63378203. There is a Potato Latke recipe that is the way I make Potato Pancakes. do a search, it is much better.
You need to get the excess water out of potatoes by squeezing in a paper towel or cheesecloth and add chopped or grated onion to mix.
