Directions
-
Grate the peeled Russet potatoes and the peeled, cored apple into a large mixing bowl using a box grater.
-
Place the grated mixture in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze firmly to remove excess liquid.
-
Add the egg, flour, salt, and freshly ground pepper to the drained potato and apple mixture.
-
Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the batter is cohesive.
-
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
-
Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, flattening each slightly with a spatula to form pancakes.
-
Fry the pancakes for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is browned.
-
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Sprinkle with powdered sugar immediately before serving while still warm.
