How To Make potato pancakes

• Step 1
  Grate the potatoes and onion in a food processor using the large grating blade or with a box grater using the large grate side.
• Step 2
  Using a tea towel, add about 1 cup of shredded potato mixture to the center and squeeze out as much water as possible. Repeat until all the potato mixture has been thoroughly squeezed to remove moisture.
• Step 3
  In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onions with the egg, flour, corn starch, black pepper, garlic, and baking powder.
• Step 4
  Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once piping hot, use a spoon to scoop about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture into the hot oil. Use the back of the spoon to level the pancake.
• Step 5
  Cook until golden brown. Sprinkle the uncooked side with salt, and then flip and cook until golden brown and crispy on the other side. Remove the potatoes to a warm baking sheet in the oven.
• Step 6
  Repeat until all the potatoes are fried, adding more oil to the skillet when needed. Serve with sour cream and chives or fresh applesauce.
