1
Grate the Potatoes
Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl.
2
Add the Onion
Grate the onion and add it to the bowl with the potatoes. This will add flavor and moisture to the pancakes.
3
Add the Eggs
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the potato and onion mixture.
4
Combine Ingredients
Sprinkle in the flour, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined.
5
Heat the Oil
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You need enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
6
Fry the Pancakes
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet for each pancake. Flatten slightly with the back of a spatula.
7
Cook Until Crispy
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
8
Drain Excess Oil
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

9
Serve with Applesauce
Serve the crispy potato pancakes hot with a generous side of applesauce for dipping.
