Potato Pancakes
Ingredients
- 5 medium-size potatoes
- 1/2 cup matzo meal
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 medium onion
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Peel potatoes. Using a box grater, grate potatoes using the small grating side. After grating all 5 potatoes, you will see "water" in the bowl. Pour out as much of the water as possible.
- Grate in the onion, add egg, salt, pepper and matzo meal. Mix together. As the matzo meal is used to bind the mixture and thicken a bit, you might need to add more.
- Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan. Drop by tablespoon into hot oil. Fry until browned, turn, and fry until second side is brown.
- Drain on paper towel.
- Serve with applesauce or sour cream.
