Authentic Polish Potato Pancakes
Ingredients
6 medium potatoes (peeled and finely grated)
1 medium onion (finely grated)
2 large eggs
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or more as needed)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (approximately, for frying)
Garnish: granulated sugar, sour cream, applesauce
Steps to Make It
1:Gather the ingredients.
2:In a large mixing bowl, mix the potatoes, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper.
3:Add enough flour to bind the mixture together while leaving it somewhat thin.
4:In a large, heavy skillet set over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil to a depth of 1/4-inch. Heat until hot, but not smoking.
5:Drop tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into the skillet and spread out to form a 3-inch circle that's about 1/4-inch thick.
6:Fry until brown on the bottom (don't turn until the pancake is brown or it will stick), about 3 to 5 minutes. If needed, reduce the heat to medium to prevent burning.
7:Turn the pancake and fry the other side for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
8:Drain on paper towels.
9:Serve with granulated sugar or sour cream and applesauce if desired.
10:Enjoy!
