Ingredients

5 potatoes (1,65 pounds)
½ onion
1 egg
1 tablespoon of flour
1,7 fl. oz. of vegetable oil
salt and pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Peel and grate the potatoes and onion using a grater. Quickly mix it together so that it does not darken. Place the mixture in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out excess moisture.

Step 2

Add one egg, flour, and seasoning.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using a spoon, put a portion of the potato mixture in the skillet and form a pancake. Fry on both sides until golden brown (normally 3-5 min for each side).
