Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and shredded
  • 1 small yellow onion finely grated
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt sea salt or kosher
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • 1/2 tsp paprika optional
  • 3-4 tbsp vegetable oil or clarified butter for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, toss shredded potatoes and grated onion. Press with a paper towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Add beaten eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Stir until a loose batter forms.
  • Warm a large nonstick or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add oil and swirl to coat.
  • Scoop potato mixture into the skillet, flatten gently, and cook until golden.
  • Transfer finished pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels or a warm oven.
  • Plate immediately with desired toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Pat shredded potatoes dry to avoid soggy pancakes. Choose starchy potatoes for crispiness. Add chopped herbs for extra flavor.
