Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary. Mix well to combine.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and drop it into the hot oil, then flatten it with a spatula to form a pancake. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, cooking in batches if necessary.
- Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
