Ingredients:
– 3-4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and boiled
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon of starch (cornstarch or potato starch)
– 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
– Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Grate the boiled potatoes using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. Transfer the squeezed potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, starch, and mayonnaise to the grated potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
4. Once the oil is hot, take a spoonful of the potato mixture and carefully place it in the hot oil, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a pancake shape. You can also use your hands to shape the pancakes if preferred.
5. Fry the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Once cooked, transfer the potato pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve the potato pancakes hot, with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, applesauce, or chopped green onions.
Enjoy your delicious potato pancakes!
