Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Peel potatoes and finely grate. Set grated potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel, twist to close, and press most of the liquid out of the potatoes, leaving only a little moisture.
Step 2
Mix pressed potatoes, onion, egg, and oats in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet. Shape small potato pancakes with 2 spoons out of the potato mixture and set into the hot oil. Bake in batches until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side, adding more oil as necessary. Drain on paper towels before serving.

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 20 medium potatoes
