Steps:
- 1. Either by hand or with a food processor grate or finely shred the potatoes. I usually use about 1/2 grated and 1/2 finely shredded. The resulting potatoes should be a lot finer than hash browns.
- 2. Now, very important... Squeeze as much liquid out of the potatoes as you can. Either by hand or by twisting them in a clean dishtowel.
- 3. Grate the onion.
- 4. Add the eggs, salt and pepper, and flour. Stir to blend well.
- 5. Heat the oil to a medium frying temperature. A little bit of bacon dripping added can't hurt.
- 6. Using a cookie scoop, put the potato mixture into the oil.
- 7. Flatten the potatoes with a pancake turner. Fry until golden brown on the bottom.
- 8. Flip them over and fry the other side.
- 9. Drain on paper towels.
- 10. Serve them immediately with applesauce or sour cream on top or on the side. (It's a dunking kind of thing...lol) While this recipe is actually based in Jewish cooking it's even better with pork than beef.
