How to make Classic Potato Pancakes
Step 1: Wash, peel, and cut into cubes the potatoes and onion and add them to the food processor. Process for approximately 2 minutes until no lumps remain and the potatoes are grated. Or if using a grater, peel and grate the potatoes and onion.
Step 2: Into a fine strainer or kitchen towel, transfer the potato mixture, then squeeze most of the liquid into a mixing bowl.
Step 3: Discard the liquid but keep the white powder or potato starch on the bottom of the bowl after pouring the liquid out.
Step 4: Add the potato mixture back to the bowl. Mix in the eggs, flour, with some salt and pepper until incorporated.
Step 5: In a large non-stick skillet, heat some vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add a spoonful of the mixture and slightly spread. Fry the pancakes for about 2 to 3 minutes on both sides until brown and crispy.
Step 6: Transfer the pancakes on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
