Perfect Potato Pancakes

Ingredienser

4 pounds Idaho Russet potatoes, peeled and chunked

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup plain bread crumbs

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Fremgangsmåte

In a food processor, process the potatoes and onions in batches, until finely chopped. Empty each batch into a strainer and, using a spoon, press down on the mixture to remove as much water as possible.

In a large bowl, combine potato-onion mixture, the flour, bread crumbs, baking powder, salt, pepper, and eggs; mix well.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Using a serving spoon, spoon about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake into the hot oil, flattening into a pancake shape. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden on both sides.

Drain on a paper towel-lined platter and serve warm.
