4 large potatoes
1 yellow onion (I used half a vidalia onion)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
2-4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
ground black pepper to taste
vegetable oil for frying
- Finely grate potatoes with onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
- Mix in egg, salt, and black pepper. Add enough flour to make mixture thick, about 2 to 4 tablespoons all together.
- Turn oven to low, about 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Drop two or three 1/4 cup mounds into hot oil, and flatten to make 1/2 inch thick pancakes. Fry, turning once, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towel lined plates to drain, and keep warm in low oven until serving time. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.
The thing I loved the most about the Russian Fest's pancakes was the dill butter they placed on top. So I made my own compound butter will lots of dill and a pinch of salt in salted butter. Mmm!
Crispy, salty, and simple ingredients. Definitely a recipe to have an hand to switch up your normal starch side dish.

ooo these look yummy! and i love the rectangle plate you "served" them in!
i went to Marshall's yesterday to use a gift card from my bday and almost bought some new plates but then i couldn't justify spending my bday money on plates (i wasn't too happy with any of their shoes..)
also - it annoys me when recipes call for a WHOLE ONION in things. i love onions but i never ever use a whole onion in a dish. even when i'm making something like lasagna w/ meat sauce for 6+ people. it's never a whole onion. anyway. bye.
