Ingredients:
- 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
- 1 small onion, peeled and halved
- 1 large egg, lightly whisked
- 1/3 cup oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Black pepper and salt, to taste
- Sour cream
- Applesauce
Directions:
- Grate the onion on the coarse side of the grater. Wrap the shredded onion in a towel and squeeze over a large bowl or the sink to remove the excess moisture. Once done, transfer the onion to a large bowl.
- Repeat with the potatoes, adding them to the onion when finished.
- Toss the potatoes and onion to combine them before adding in the egg. Once the egg is fully incorporated, season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Scoop 1/3 cup portions of the potato mix into the skillet and use a spatula to slightly flatten them. This will need to be done in batches until the mix is gone. Cook until golden brown and crispy, around 3-5 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately with sour cream or applesauce on the side.
