Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ounces Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
- 1¼ pounds large russet potatoes, peeled (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion (1 small onion)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 6 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- ½ cup Tillamook Sour Cream
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Directions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and place a wire rack inside. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, black pepper and shredded Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Set aside.
- Using the large holes of a box grater or the grater disk on a food processor, grate the potatoes and onions. Transfer to a large piece of cheesecloth or kitchen towel, and squeeze to wring out any excess liquid. Add to the flour bowl along with the egg and stir to combine.
- In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Working in 2 batches of 2, pack a ¼-size measuring cup with the potato batter and drop the round into the hot oil. Using the back of a metal spatula, gently flatten each round into ½-inch-thick pancakes. Cook, swirling the pancake in the pan for even browning, until golden brown and crispy, 2½ minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet to drain. Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil. Repeat with the remaining pancake mixture and serve immediately with the sour cream and chives.
