By curly

Ingredients

• 2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
• 1 Tbsp grated onion
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 2 Tbsps all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsps salt
• 1/2 cup peanut oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt.

3. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Let drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
