🧾 Ingredients (Just 3!)
- 2–3 medium potatoes (peeled & grated)
- 1 small onion (grated)
- Salt (to taste)
(That’s it—no flour, no eggs in the original version!)
👩🍳 Instructions
-
Grate potatoes & onion
Use a box grater. Mix them together in a bowl. -
Remove excess moisture
This is key! Squeeze the mixture in a clean cloth or your hands until as dry as possible. -
Season
Add salt and mix well. -
Fry
Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Scoop small portions, flatten into thin patties. -
Cook until crispy
Fry 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy. -
Drain & serve
Place on paper towels. Serve hot.
🍽️ Tips for That “Grandma-Level” Crisp
- The drier the mixture → the crispier the pancakes
- Don’t overcrowd the pan
- Press them thin for extra crunch
- Cast iron pan works best
🥄 Optional (but not traditional)
- Black pepper
- A spoon of flour (helps bind, but not needed)
- Serve with yogurt, sour cream, or even a sprinkle of sugar (old-school style!)
