Authentic Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

• 10 russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 1 carrot, peeled and shredded
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 5 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups dry bread crumbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for frying, as needed

Directions

Mix potatoes, carrot, onion, garlic, parsley, and dill in a large bowl. Stir in lemon juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil, flour, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Knead just until mixture holds together.
