Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Sour cream (for serving, optional)
  • Fresh dill (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes

After grating the potatoes, place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Transfer the grated potatoes to a large mixing bowl.

Mix the Ingredients

Add the finely chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the grated potatoes. Mix well until combined.

Fry the Pancakes

Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

For each pancake, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil. Flatten each spoonful slightly with the back of the spoon to form a thin pancake.

Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Finish

Enjoy your meal!
