Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups Idaho potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 medium onion, grated
- 2 large eggs for binding
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour can be swapped with gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder for flavor
- 2 tablespoons fresh minced dill weed for vibrant flavor
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel the potatoes and place them in a large bowl filled with cold water to prevent browning.
- Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor until finely shredded.
- Shred the onion and combine it with the grated potatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Drain excess moisture by using a clean kitchen towel to wring out the excess water from the potato mixture.
- Add eggs, flour, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper to the bowl, mixing everything until just combined.
Cooking
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a dash of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, scoop ¼ cup of the potato mixture for each pancake and gently flatten it in the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges are golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy.
- Continue this process until all the mixture is used, adding oil as necessary for cooking.
- Keep the pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while you finish cooking.
Serving
- Transfer your crispy potato pancakes to a serving platter.
- Garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
- Serve warm alongside a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Enjoy them as a filling main course or delightful side dish.
- Store any leftovers safely for later enjoyment!
Notes
For best results, drain moisture thoroughly, maintain medium heat, and let pancakes cool completely before storing. Try variations with different herbs for added flavor!
