Crispy golden potato pancakes made from grated raw potatoes and onion, pan-fried until crunchy and served with sour cream.

Ingredients

1 Grate potatoes and onion on the coarse side of a box grater into a bowl.
2 Squeeze out excess liquid through a cheesecloth. Reserve the starch that settles at the bottom of the liquid and add it back.
3 Mix with eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until combined.
4 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5 Drop spoonfuls of batter, flatten to about 1cm thick. Fry 3-4 min per side until deeply golden and crispy.
6 Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sour cream and applesauce.
