This is going to be your family's new favorite snack and side dish. Nothing beats crispy potato pancakes that are also simple to make, even on a normal day. Whether eaten plain or paired with some applesauce or sour cream, everyone will love these little potato delights! 

Ingredients

• 2 pounds raw starchy potatoes, peeled and grated*
• 1 small yellow onion, grated*
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ - ½ cup Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• Neutral-tasting oil for frying (We love avocado!) 

Instructions

1. Thoroughly wring out the liquid in the grated potatoes by placing them in a colander and squeezing them with your hands, or by placing them in a clean dish towel and wringing out the liquid.
2. Place the drained grated potatoes in a medium-sized bowl with the grated onion, eggs, ¼ cup cassava flour, and salt. Use your hands to work it into a tacky mixture. Add up to ¼ cup more flour if needed. Use mixture immediately, do not let it sit.
3. Heat a few Tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and place 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the mixture (depending on size preference) in the hot pan. Flatten into pancakes with the back of a spoon. Fry on both sides for 3-5 minutes until the pancakes are golden-brown.  Place them on paper towels.
4. Serve immediately while hot.

*NOTE: To make this recipe even easier, we used a food processor with a grater attachment to grate the potatoes and the onion.
