“Golden Potato Pancakes: Easy, Affordable, and Delicious!”

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor.
  2. Squeeze Out Moisture: Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This will help the potatoes crisp up nicely.
  3. Mix with Eggs: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with the eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Cooking:
    • Pan-Frying Method: Heat some oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop a portion of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten it slightly to form a pancake. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
    • Oven-Baked Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet with oil. Scoop portions of the potato mixture onto the baking sheet, shaping them into patties. Brush the tops with a little more oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. Serve: Serve the potato pancakes hot with your favorite condiments such as sour cream, applesauce, or ketchup.
