Lenten Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 kg (2 lb) potatoes, peeled
• 1 onion
• 3 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp salt and some pepper
• Sunflower oil for frying
• Mushroom sauce or applesauce to serve

Method

1. Grate the potatoes and onion finely and squeeze out the liquid. Let the liquid settle, pour off the water and keep the starch at the bottom.
2. Mix the potatoes with the starch, flour, salt and pepper.
3. Fry spoonfuls in hot oil, flattening them, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
4. Drain and serve hot.

Tip. The potato starch holds them together, so no egg is needed.
