Ingredients

  • 400 g Potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • ½ teaspoon red chilli flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro /chives optional
  • cup vegetable oil more may be needed
  • Sour cream to serve
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon corn flour

Instructions

  • Using a box grater, grate the potatoes and squeeze them dry using a kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much water as possible.
  • In a mixing bowl combine these potatoes with chopped onion, flour, seasonings and mix. You can add in a little bit of milk or if you are keeping it vegan any vegan milk is good. You do not need a lot of milk, just a couple of tablespoons is enough.
  • In a skillet heat oil and with a scoop or measuring cup, I scoop out ¼ cup of the mixture and flatten it uniformly onto the skillet.
  • At this point, I reduce the heat to a slightly lower side. So the potatoes are cooked inside as well.
  • After 2 minutes, I increase the heat to make them crisp.

Notes

  • To drain off excess oil use paper towel and enjoy them fresh off skillet when these are still hot and crisp.
  • *The potato pancake absorb more oil than the regular ones but I make them few times per year, so for me that’s okay. 
  • If you like to Use eggs skip cornflour and almond milk and add one whole egg instead.
