vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

onion

🥗Healthier: green onions

💰Cheaper: leeks

Green onions add freshness, while leeks are often less expensive.

Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

Finely chop the onion and mix it with the grated potatoes in a large bowl.

Add eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper to the potato mixture and stir until combined.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Scoop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with a spatula.

Fry the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve hot with applesauce or sour cream, garnished with chopped chives.
