Potato Pancakes Recipe Crispy, yummy potato pancakes make a great sunday lunch - crunch-crunch! Piping hot and crunchy potato pancake dipped in apple sauce - YUM!

We are going to make lunch for 2 people - a total of 8 pancakes.

It's best if you use 2 frying pans at once - otherwise you'd have to cook the pancakes in 2 batches. With 2 frying pans, you can make them in one batch, which means you'll get to eat them sooner, while they are hot!

Regular frying pan makes a crispier pancake than a non-stick frying pan. And don't even think of frying them without oil - you'll end up with a chewy blah!

You'll need a food processor (of course, you can grate potatoes by hand, but it would be such a pain!)

Peel 3 large potatoes (about 2 lbs) and cut into pieces to fit into a food processor chute. Grate in a food processor.

Put grated potatoes in a colander in the sink, and press on them hard to squeeze out as much liquid as you can.

Peel 1 small onion and cut into quarters. Grate in a food processor.

Mix grated potatoes, onion, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper.

Put 2 tbsps of oil in each frying pan. Heat pans over medium-high heat for several minutes. Don't put them on high heat - you want to use the same heat setting that you'll use for frying (and this really depends on your burners, some are stronger then others). To check if the oil is heated, drop a tiny bit of potato mixture in the oil - when it starts making some noise pretty aggressively, the oil is hot enough!

Form potato mixture into patties (make them as thin as possible) and put in frying pans (you should have approximately 4 good-sized patties in each). Leave for 3 minutes (or until brown). Flip them to the other side, reduce heat to medium and leave for 4 minutes.

Try one piece of pancake to make sure it's cooked through. If not, you can leave them for another few minutes on low heat.

Serve piping hot with apple sauce. Enjoy!
