Apple Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

• 3 russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 1 Granny Smith apple – peeled, cored, and shredded
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 green onions, diced
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• 1/2 tablespoon sour cream (optional)

Directions

Place shredded potatoes and apple in a clean kitchen towel. Gather towel on top and wring out excess liquid.

Combine potatoes, apple, eggs, flour, and green onion in a bowl.

Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy sauce pan over medium-high heat.

Form mixture into palm-sized patties; fry in hot oil, working in batches, until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes on each side. More oil may be needed with each batch.

Remove pancakes from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt.

Serve pancakes topped with sour cream.
