- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 egg

Grate the potatoes and the onion.
-
Add the flour, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix well.
-
Let the mixture sit for 2 to 5 minutes to let the juices drain out of the potatoes.

To some the amount of salt might seem alarming, but the salt serves a dual purpose. Besides enhancing the flavor, the salt helps pull the juices out of the potatoes and bring the mixture to the desired texture needed to keep the potato pancakes from falling apart while cooking.
