Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, minced onions, beaten eggs, flour, baking powder, and lemon juice. Season generously with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Shape the potato mixture into approximately 12 evenly sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly dust each patty with additional flour to promote crisping. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Heat the coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the potato patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Pan-fry the potato patties in batches until golden brown and irresistibly crispy on both sides, about 7-10 minutes per side. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. (Cook time: 14-20 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the browned potato pancakes to a wire rack to drain excess oil and maintain their crispness. Repeat with the remaining patties. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For extra crispy pancakes, squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible from the shredded potatoes before mixing with the other ingredients.
Consider adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, to the potato mixture for enhanced flavor.
Serve immediately for the best texture. These pancakes pair wonderfully with sour cream, applesauce, or a dollop of crème fraîche.
