Ingredients

  • 4 potatoes any kind
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • oil for frying
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Peel potatoes. Grate them along with the onion on your grater. Put the mixture in to a paper towel and slightly squeeze. You don't have to let all the liquid go, but most of it.
  • Place potato-onion mixture in to the bowl.  Add an egg and flour, about 1/3 tspn salt and some freshly ground pepper. Mix very well.
  • Cook just like you would cook a pancake- spoon the mixture on a heated oiled pan, fry on each side for about 3 minutes on a medium-high heat until gold in color.
  • Place cooked potato cakes on a paper towel to absorb that extra oil.
  • Serve with sour cream and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
