Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and the onion.

Step 2

Grate the potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor.

Step 5

Add the eggs, gluten-free flour blend, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the potato mixture. Mix well until everything is fully combined.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form a small pancake shape. Place it carefully in the pan. Repeat this in batches to not overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Step 10
