Preparation
Step 1
Peel the potatoes in advance and rinse them under running water to remove any dirt.
Step 2
Peel the onion, rinse it under cold water, then finely chop it. Heat a frying pan and add a bit of vegetable oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté over low heat for 3–4 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Step 3
Grate the peeled potatoes using a coarse grater. If any juice forms, drain it off.
Step 4
Do not let the grated potatoes sit too long to avoid darkening. Immediately mix them with the sautéed onion.
Step 5
Add flour to the mixture. Season with salt and your favorite spices to taste. Mix all the ingredients well.
Step 6
Depending on how watery the potatoes are, you may need slightly more or less flour. The finished batter should be thick enough to hold shape.
Step 7
Spoon the potato mixture onto a preheated skillet with vegetable oil. Fry the pancakes for 3–4 minutes on each side. For crispy pancakes, fry uncovered; for softer ones, cover the pan.
Step 8
Once golden brown, remove the pancakes from the pan and place them on a plate.
Step 9
Serve the finished potato pancakes with onion and flour hot, with a side of sour cream. Enjoy!
