Potato fritters. Recipes for delicious potato pancakes

Step 1: Prepare the potato dough.

As I already said, in classic recipe potatoes are rubbed very finely. We will not depart from that. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is peel the potatoes and rinse well under running water. Peel the onion too. We take a bowl, pour quite a bit of water (so that the potatoes do not turn black) and finely rub them with a grater.
Then we transfer it to a colander, thus decanting the excess juice, and pour it back into the bowl, and finely rub the onion on top. Add salt, pepper, wheat flour and egg. Mix thoroughly and you can start frying.

Step 2: Prepare potato pancakes.

We put over medium heat (this is important!) heat the pan, pour vegetable oil and spread the pancakes with a spoon. Fry on both sides for 1-2 minutes(until a golden crust appears).
Please note that if the pancakes begin to fry very quickly, then you need to reduce the heat. So we bake all the pancakes.

Step 3: Serve potato pancakes.

Once the pancakes are done, place them on paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Then transfer them to a serving dish and serve with sour cream and vegetable salad. Enjoy your meal!

I will warn you right away that it is better to buy potatoes that are crumbly, yellow, which will contain a lot of starch.

The amount of eggs and flour depends on the level of starch in the potatoes. The more starch in it, the less flour is required and only one egg and vice versa.

If you decide to grate the potatoes coarsely, keep in mind that then you will have to fry them longer, or simmer a little over low heat under the lid.

Potatoes can also be grated with a food processor.

You can also add a couple of cloves of garlic to the potato dough. Or you can cook garlic Sause(sour cream + mayonnaise + garlic) and serve it with pancakes.

Please note that you need to spread the pancakes in well-heated oil, otherwise they will be saturated with it and become not tasty (fatty). And when adding a new portion of oil, it should also be well heated.

5. To make the pancakes tender, grind the dough in a blender or food processor. And to increase the usefulness of the finished dish, instead of frying, you can bake potato pancakes in the oven by laying them on a baking sheet.

6. You can also cook potato pancakes in pots: first fry them a little in a pan, and then put them in pots, layer them with mushrooms, vegetables or minced meat and bake under the cheese cap.
