Ingredients
To make these delicious pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 cups of grated potatoes
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- Optional: 1/4 cup of chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
Let’s get started on these delicious pancakes! First, in a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, salt and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
Next, heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, take a handful of the potato mixture and flatten it into a pancake shape. Carefully place the pancake in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Once the pancakes are golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture.
If desired, top with chopped parsley or chives before serving. Enjoy!
