Author: Rian Handler
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 - 6
Ingredients
1 lb. Russet potatoes, peeled (about 2 medium)
2 large eggs, beaten
½ c. flour
1½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
Canola oil, for frying
2 tbsp. Chopped chives
Applesauce, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
Using the medium holes on box grater, grate potatoes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water until ready to use. Using a clean dish towel, squeeze out as much liquid as possible, or let drain in fridge overnight.
In a large bowl, combine potatoes with eggs, flour, and 1 teaspoon salt.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat about ⅛” oil until shimmering. To test if oil is hot enough, sprinkle with some flour. If flour bubbles and dissolves immediately, oil is ready.
Add a few spoonfuls of potato mixture to the oil and pat down to flatten. Fry until crispy and golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then sprinkle with remaining salt.
Serve with chives, applesauce, and sour cream.
