Ingredients

  • 8 Potatoes Grated
  • 1 White onion Grated or chopped finely
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Plain Flour
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Oil for Frying in

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate the potato - then using a teatowel squeeze as much of the water out of the potato so that they are not too wet. You could put the grated potato in a sieve and put a small plate or bowl on the top and weigh it down to squeeze the liquid out too.

  2. Grate or finely chop the onion - I tried to grate it but my grater was having none of it and it was a potent onion so it had me in tears in seconds, so I finely chopped it instead.

  3. Mix everything together in a bowl - get in with your hands and give it a good mix so all of the egg and flour is well incorporated

  4. Fry in a pan with a bit of oil or butter until they are crispy making sure you cook on both sides.

  5. I think traditionally these are served with sour cream or apple sauce. I had them with my stew!!
