Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and grated

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Oil for frying (canola or vegetable)

Instructions
 

Start by grating the peeled potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. This helps achieve the perfect crispy texture.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

      Fold in the fresh parsley and chives for an added burst of freshness and flavor.

        Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan generously.

          Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet for each pancake. Flatten them slightly with a spatula to ensure they cook evenly.

            Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

              Place the cooked pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil while you cook the remaining batches.

                Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce and enjoy your delightful crispy potato pancakes!
