In this recipe version, the cakes won’t turn out too crispy, due to the matzo meal, nor will they fall apart.
Ingredients:
-
1 egg, beaten
-
1/2 onion
-
2 tbsp. matzoh meal or flour
-
3 large baking potatoes
-
Black pepper
-
Salt
-
Vegetable oil
Steps:
-
Grate the potatoes and the onion by hand or with a food processor.
-
Mix the grated potatoes and onion, beaten egg, salt and pepper, and matzo meal or flour in a bowl.
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
-
Add 1 to 2 tbsp. oil to the skillet.
-
Form the potato mixture into small cakes - 2 to 3 tbsp. of potato per cake. Don't make the cakes too big; they're easier to turn when small.
-
Flatten the cakes slightly with a spatula.
-
Cook until the cakes are nice and brown on the bottom, then turn and cook the other side.
-
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
