Potato Pancakes (Polish Hash Browns)
Ingredients
- 1 kg Potatoes
- 1 Egg
- 3-4 tbsp Plain Flour
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 White Onion
- Salt & Pepper
- Oil for frying
- Sour Cream
Instructions
- Grate peeled potatoes on the medium size hols of the vegetable grater. Place in a large strainer and let it soak off, pressing the potatoes down to remove as much water as possible. You can also use cheesecloth for that.
- Use the same side of the grater for the onion. Drain most of the liquid as well. Transfer to a large bowl, add potatoes, crushed garlic cloves and egg. Mix and soak off any extra water.
- Add flour and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix and add more flour if you feel like the mixture is too moist.
- Heat up 5 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place medium size flat circles on to the oil (you can use a spoon for that) and fry until golden brown on both sides. Once cooked place on a plate laid out with kitchen roll for any excess oil to soak off.
- Serve and enjoy while hot with a big spoon of sour cream on top.
