Say hello to your new favorite way to enjoy potatoes! Our Herby Golden Gourmet Potato Pancakes are incredibly easy to make and even more delicious to eat. Using our premium Oakley’s Golden Gourmet Potatoes, these pancakes are guaranteed to be crispy on the outside and wonderfully fluffy inside.
Here’s a little secret to getting them perfect every time: the key is to really wring out the moisture after shredding the potatoes. This simple step ensures a super-crisp result.
Serve them fresh off the pan with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lemon. They’re perfect as a side dish, a light lunch, or a tasty snack.
Ingredients:
- 600 g Oakley’s Golden Gourmet potatoes, grated
- 1 small brown onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large free-range egg
- 3 tablespoons plain flour (or gluten-free alternative)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (for drawing moisture)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (for batter seasoning)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives, parsley), chopped
- Olive or vegetable oil, for frying
- Sour cream and lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
- Shred and drain
- Combine shredded potatoes and onion in a bowl.
- Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt, toss well, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw moisture out.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, then wring out as much liquid as possible—this prevents sogginess.
- Make the batter
- Return drained potato-onion mix to a bowl.
- Add egg, flour, baking powder (if using), remaining ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Mix gently until everything is evenly combined into a thick batter.
- Cook the pancakes
- Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Spoon batter into the pan, flattening each dollop to about 1 cm thick.
- Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Cook in batches without overcrowding.
- Serve warm with sour cream and lemon wedges.
