Ingredients

1 medium Potato, grated (1 cup
2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
1/4 cups Resh horseradish; grated
1/4 cups Oil for frying
1/4 cups Nion; grated

Directions

1
Grate the potato, onion, and fresh horseradish using a box grater or food processor.
2
Place the grated potato mixture in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much liquid as possible to ensure crispiness.
3
Transfer the dried potato mixture to a large bowl.
4
Add the all-purpose flour, grated onion, and grated horseradish to the potatoes.
5
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
6
Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
7
Take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and pat it into a flat disk, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
8
Place the pancake into the hot oil, leaving about 1 inch of space between pancakes if cooking multiple at once.
9
Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and slightly charred.
10
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the second side for another 2 minutes until golden and crisp.
11
Remove cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
12
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, adjusting heat as needed to maintain browning without burning.

Note

Serve hot, accompanied by applesauce, sour cream, or as a side to roasted meats.

Ensure the potato mixture is thoroughly dried before frying; excess moisture will prevent the pancakes from becoming crispy and may cause the oil to splatter dangerously.

For a milder flavor, rinse the grated horseradish under cold water briefly before mixing it into the batter.
