• 6 large floury potatoes, grated
• 1 onion, grated
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp flour
• salt, pepper
• oil for frying
• soured cream or sugar to serve

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Grate the potatoes and onion together — the onion stops the potato browning.
2. Squeeze the mixture hard in a tea towel. Keep the liquid in a bowl.
3. Let the liquid settle 2 min, pour it off, and scrape the white potato starch from the bottom back into the mixture. That starch is the binder.
4. Add the egg, flour and plenty of seasoning.
5. Fry thin spoonfuls in hot oil, 3 min a side, until crisp and lacy at the edges.
6. Soured cream for savoury, sugar for sweet. Both are correct and Poles argue about it anyway.
