Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Potatoes
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Tapioca Starch
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Applesauce

Instructions

  1. 1Peel the 2 lbs of potatoes and the 1 medium onion. Using a box grater or food processor, grate both the potatoes and the onion.
  2. 2Place the grated potato and onion mixture into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the mixture over a sink or bowl.
  3. 3In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed potato and onion mixture with the 1 Egg, 2 tablespoons of Tapioca Starch, 1 teaspoon of Salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of Black Pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. 4Heat 3 tablespoons of Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C). Wait until the oil shimmers slightly.
  5. 5Carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot olive oil. Use the back of the spoon to gently flatten each portion into a pancake shape.
  6. 6Cook the potato pancakes for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side until equally golden brown and crispy.
  7. 7Remove the cooked potato pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
  8. 8Serve the Paleo Placki Ziemniaczane hot with the 1 cup of Applesauce.
