Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 8- 1 white or yellow onion (shredded)
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes (shredded using the medium holes of a box grater)
- 2 eggs (whisked)
- ½ teaspoon Ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Combine the flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Step 2
Add the shredded potatoes and onion to the bowl. Mix everything until the potatoes and onion are evenly coated with the flour mixture.
- Step 3
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Step 4
Scoop ¼-⅓ cup of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten it slightly with the back of a spatula. Carefully place the flattened mixture into the hot oil. Repeat this step 2-3 more times to add more pancakes, leaving some space between each of them in the pan.
- Step 5
Cook the pancakes for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. (You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the pancakes.)
- Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Step 7
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining potato mixture until it is all used.
- Step 8
Serve with apple sauce and freshly chopped parsley if desired.
