Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and chunked
1 large onion, quartered
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs or panko crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a food processor, process the potatoes and onions, in batches, until finely chopped. Empty each batch into a strainer and, using a spoon, press down on the mixture to remove as much water as possible. In a large bowl, combine the drained potato-onion mixture, the flour, bread crumbs, baking powder, salt, pepper, and eggs; mix well. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using a serving spoon, spoon about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake into the hot oil, flattening into a pancake shape. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden on both sides. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter and serve warm. Make these small if you want to serve them as appetizers. Serve with the traditional fixin's of applesauce and sour cream
