XXVII: Potato Pancakes

I'm thinking this is from a Martha Stewart magazine but I'm not sure.

1 1/2 lb waxy potatoes
1 medium onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 T all-purpose flour
1 t coarse salt
1/4 t ground pepper
3 T canola oil
sour cream or applesauce

Coarsely grate the potatoes and onion into a colander in the sink. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then transfer vegetables to a large bowl; mix in the egg, flour, salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 c mounds of potato mixture into the skillet; press lightly with a spatula to flatten. Cook pancakes until golden, 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with sour cream and applesauce, as desired.

Sounds tasty. :)
