Ingredients

Scale
- 500 g potatoes
- 1 medium white onion
- 3 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Grate your potatoes on medium size grater and squeeze out the liquid. You don’t want to grate them too fine or else there will be no texture to it.
- Grate your onion. Be aware you will cry or at least I did since the juices of the onion are so pungent with grating the onion.
- Combine your potato, onion, seasoning and a whisked egg together.
- Add your starch and pour 2-3 tablespoon of your mix into a hot pan with oil and flatten them to make the cook even for those pancakes. Cook for 8-10 minutes on medium heat.
- Place on a rack or paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve with some sour cream or like us Germans with some applesauce. 🙂
Notes
If it browns too quickly, then turn it lower since you need the center to cook as well.
