Instructions :
- Prepare the Potatoes and Onion: Grate the peeled potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor.
- Remove Excess Liquid: Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the lightly beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper to the grated mixture, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Form the Pancakes: Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them into pancakes about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Fry Until Golden Brown: Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip them halfway through the cooking time.
- Drain and Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of optional toppings.
Tips for Success :
- Enhance the flavor by adding grated cheese, chopped herbs, or minced garlic.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the potato mixture for optimal crispiness.
- Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 95°C) while frying batches.
