Instructions

  1. Finely grate the onion and grate the cooked potatoes (or mash them with a fork if they're already mashed).
  2. In a bowl, mix the potatoes, onion, beaten egg, melted butter, flour, salt and pepper until you have a smooth dough.
  3. Shape into patties about 1 cm thick, lightly rolling them in flour.
  4. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side, until nicely golden.
  5. Drain on kitchen paper and serve straight away, with sour cream or dill.

Variations and tips

Bacon patties. Add 50 g of fried bacon bits, crumbled, to the dough for a richer version.
