Title: Quick Easy Potato Cakes
Ingredients:
– 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 eggs
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Sour cream and chives for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the potato mixture.
3. Using a spoon, scoop out a portion of the potato mixture and carefully place it in the hot skillet. Flatten the mixture with the back of the spoon to form a round cake shape.
4. Cook the potato cake for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip the cake to cook the other side.
5. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
6. Once all the potato cakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve the potato cakes hot with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives if desired.
