- Peel and grate the onion into the strainer or cheesecloth. Squeeze the liquid and add it to the grated potatoes.130 g small onion
- To the large bowl add the flour, egg and salt and stir everything to combine it well. I like to use my hand but a wooden spoon will work just as well.900 g russet potatoes, 2 tbsp flour, 130 g small onion, 1 egg, ½ tsp salt
- Add the oil to a large pan and heat it up on medium heat. Once hot, using a 1/3 cup measuring cup add the pancakes to the pan and flatten the out using a spatula or the back of the measuring cup into 4-inch wide pancakes. Cook for 5 minutes per side.2 tbsp neutral oil
- Serve the potato pancakes with meatballs in gravy, beef in red pepper sauce or on the side of our Polish Barszcz or beet soup.
