  • Prep Time 20 minutes
  • Total Time 1 hour
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 pounds waxy potatoes, peeled
    • 1 medium onion
    • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
    • 3 tablespoons canola oil
    • Sour cream and applesauce

Directions

  1. Coarsely grate potatoes and onion into a colander in the sink. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then transfer vegetables to a large bowl; mix in egg, flour, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4-cup mounds of potato mixture into the skillet; press lightly with a spatula to flatten. Cook pancakes until golden, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with sour cream and applesauce, as desired.
