Ingredients

• 1 egg
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
• 2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl and mix in the onion, flour, and egg until evenly distributed.

Step 2

Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes.

Step 3

Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.

Step 4

Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
