Why You'll Love This Recipe

Preparing the Potatoes

Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly, then peel them if you prefer a smoother texture. Grate the potatoes using a coarse grater into a large bowl. Immediately transfer the shreds to a clean kitchen towel, wrap, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible—this step is essential for achieving a crispy exterior rather than a soggy pancake.

Forming the Batter

Finely grate the onion and add it to the dried potatoes. Sprinkle the flour, salt, and pepper over the mixture, then drizzle the beaten eggs. Gently fold everything together until a cohesive, slightly sticky batter forms. If you’re using chives, stir them in now for a subtle herbaceous note that will brighten the final product.
