Whether you call them potato pancakes or latkes, these fried, grated potatoes satisfy everyone.

Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel, twist the towel to squeeze out excess moisture, and transfer to a large bowl.

Prepare the Potatoes

Grate the onion and add it to the bowl with the potatoes. Add the eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Add Ingredients

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet generously.

Heat the Oil

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Fry the Pancakes

Once the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sour cream and applesauce on the side, if desired.
