Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup finely chopped onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients.

Step 2

Beat eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl; stir in shredded potatoes and onion.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into hot oil, working in batches. Flatten slightly by pressing with a spatula.

Step 4

Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. You can cover them very loosely with aluminum foil to hold in heat without steaming them.

Step 6

Repeat with remaining potato mixture. Serve warm.
