Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled or scrubbed well*
  • 1 medium onion
  • ¼ cup flour of choice (I usually use tapioca or brown rice flour)**
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Chop potatoes and onion into small 1- to 2-inch chunks. Toss into your high-powered blender one handful at a time, processing at medium to high speed. Add salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Add tapioca flour and blend or stir to combine.
  2. Pour in enough cooking oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until a drop of water or batter starts to sizzle in the oil.
  3. Scoop a large spoonful of batter onto the skillet and smooth out into a small circle, making three to four pancakes per batch. Fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Serve immediately.
Notes
*You can use either yellow, red, or russet potatoes. I like to use a combination of two or more types. I tend to peel the thicker-skinned russets, but usually leave the skin on yellows or reds.
**You may substitute almost any neutral-tasting flour for the tapioca flour. I also recommend using brown rice flour.
