Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 small onion, grated
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
• Sour cream and applesauce for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: After grating the potatoes, place them in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. This helps to achieve crispy pancakes.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes and onion with the beaten eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Form and Fry the Pancakes: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening each scoop with a spatula to form a pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain and Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with sour cream and applesauce.
