Potato Pancakes

Prepare the Potatoes:

Place the grated potatoes in a clean cloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to ensure crisp pancakes.

Mix Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine the drained potatoes, grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a batter.

Heat the Oil:

In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Cook the Pancakes:

For each pancake, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it with the back of the spoon to form a pancake about 1/2 inch thick.

Fry the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crisp.

Drain the pancakes on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve:

Serve the potato pancakes hot with your choice of garnishes.
