Description

"Potato Pancakes" or "Potato Latkes" - call them what you like, but they are a delicious dish that can be served with meat, vegetables, mushrooms, or simply with sour cream. They are easy to make, and even quicker if you have a blender.

Instructions

You can grate the potatoes and onions using a grater, or for convenience, use a blender. In the first case, grate the onions first, and then grate the potatoes finely and mix everything together. This way, the potatoes won't turn dark.
If you have a blender (food processor, chopper, etc.), chop the potatoes and onions into chunks and process them together until there are no large pieces left, achieving a uniform mixture. If there's excess liquid, try to drain it if possible.
Into the blended potatoes and onions, add the egg, sift in the flour, add the pressed garlic, and salt. Season with pepper to taste.
Mix until homogeneous.
Heat oil in a preheated skillet. Spoon the mixture onto the skillet.
Fry until they have a golden crust on both sides. Potato pancakes cook relatively quickly.
Serve the finished potato pancakes hot with sour cream. Enjoy your meal!
