Description

A potato pancake recipe that uses flour to thicken


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 potatoes (1.5 pounds)
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 small egg
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • canola oil for frying

 


Instructions

  1. Peel potatoes and grate on the fine side of the grater
    Grate onion
    Drain potatoes and onion
    In a bowl, beat egg, stir in flour, salt, and pepper until smooth
    Add drained potatoes and onion, stirring until well combined
    Heat 1/4 inch oil in frying pan over medium-high heat
    Add potato batter, 1/4 cup at a time
    Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter until the pancake is about 1/2 inch thick, I was able to make 3 at a time
    Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, my frying pan is larger than the largest burner, so I also rotated them half way through each side to keep the middle from cooking and the outside edge from not getting dark enough
    Drain on paper towels.

Description

A potato pancake thickened with potato starch


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 potatoes (1.5 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon onion
  • 1 small egg
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • lard for frying

 


Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes
  2. Add water to blender or food processor with a steel blade attachment, process the potato and onion in two batches
  3. Using the same water for both batches, process in bursts, so the potatoes are grated finely, but not liquefied
  4. Drain the potato mixture; reserving the water, let the water sit for just a minute, the potato starch will settle to the bottom
  5. Pour off the liquid, being careful to leave the starch in the bowl
  6. Add egg, salt, and potato onion mixture to the starch and combine
  7. Heat lard over medium high heat, drop batter 1/4 cup at a time into hot lard, using the back of the spoon to spread out the batter until pancakes are 1/2 inch thick
  8. Cook until brown on both sides
  9. Drain on paper towels
