Instructions
Step 1
Option 1
Wash and peel potatoes and onions. Pat dry with paper tea towels. Grate potatoes or chop with a food processor. Beautiful potato pancakes are obtained from chopped thin strips of potatoes. Cut the onion into small cubes.
Step 2
Combine potatoes and onions, season with salt and place in a colander or fine mesh sieve. Let the liquid drain, press several times with your hands to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. You can also squeeze the potato mass through cheesecloth.
Step 3
Pour oil into a large, thick-walled skillet - its layer should be about 1 centimeter. When the temperature of the oil is high enough and it begins to smoke, start sculpting potato pancakes with clean, wet hands. Place a handful of potato mixture between your palms, press and spread the pancake into the heated oil. Use a spatula to press down on the potato pancakes to flatten them, and fry until golden brown, then turn over and fry on the other side.
Step 4
Remove the pancakes from the pan and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Continue baking until you have finished all the potatoes. Serve the pancakes with a spoonful of sour cream on top of each pancake and top with salmon caviar. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves.
Step 5
Option 2
Peel the potatoes, wash and immerse them in cold water for 10-15 minutes. On a mandolin grater, cut the tubers into thin, narrow strips. Squeeze excess moisture out of the grated potatoes using a colander, sieve, or cheesecloth. Chop the onion. Whisk together the egg and milk and mix with the potatoes and onions. Season with salt.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spread the potato mixture with a tablespoon, press with a silicone spatula and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Serve with sour cream, salmon caviar and green onions.
