IF YOU FANCY HAVING A GO YOURSELF HERE'S THE RECIPE
READY IN: 35 Minutes
PORTIONS: 4
INGREDIENTS:
2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
½ medium onion, finely chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1
Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl and mix in the onion, flour, and egg until evenly distributed.
Step 2
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes.
Step 3
Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
Step 4
Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
