Story
These simple potato pancakes are a beloved comfort food. The key is to grate the potatoes finely so they cook up quickly and become wonderfully crisp.
Ingredients
Potatoes
2 medium
Eggs
2 large
Fresh Scallions
3 stalks, chopped
All-purpose Flour
3 tbsp
Salt
1 tsp
Vegetable Oil
for frying
Instructions
1
Grate the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Use a box grater to shred them into fine threads. For extra crispiness, squeeze out any excess moisture with a cheesecloth or your hands.
2
Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, eggs, chopped scallions, flour, and salt. Stir thoroughly until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
3
Pan-Fry the Pancakes
Heat a generous layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon dollops of the batter into the pan and flatten them slightly. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm.
