Potato Pancakes with Nutmeg

Category: German Potato Dishes

1 pound(s) russet potatoes, peeled
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/8 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) canola oil

Directions

Toss the potatoes, onions, salt, pepper, nutmeg, flour, and egg together in a large bowl. Heat 3/4 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture (1 per pancake) into the pan. Flatten each pancake with a nonstick spatula. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until pancakes are golden brown -- about 5 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat, using all the batter and adding additional oil as needed. Serve warm.
Serves 4.
