Dessert: Potato Pancakes

Eastern Europeans certainly got comfort food right, and these crispy potato pancakes are no exception. For a quick, warming dinner, add a dollop of sour cream and serve hot.

Ingredients

1 tsp. Coarse salt
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
2 tsp. vegetable oil
2 medium russet potatoes
Sour cream and chives
Apple sauce

Instructions

Grate potatoes into a large bowl using the large holes on a box grater. Season with a teaspoon coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper and let stand 10 minutes; stir to blend in any liquid. Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Drop in rounded tablespoons of potatoes and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden-brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total, then drain on paper towels. Repeat with more oil and remaining potatoes. Serve with sour cream and chives or applesauce alongside.
