- 900 gpotatoes(peeled, preferably starchy variety like Russet)
- 1 mediumonion(peeled)
- 1 largeegg
- 30 gall-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoonsalt
- 0.5 teaspoonblack pepper
- pinchnutmeg(freshly grated, optional)
- 1 tablespoonvegetable oil(for spraying/brushing)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and onion. Grate them finely using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for crispy potato pancakes.
Transfer the squeezed potato-onion mixture to a large bowl. Add the egg, flour, salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with a little vegetable oil.
Form small, flattened patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter) from the potato mixture. You should get about 12-16 pancakes.
Place the potato pancakes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it. You will likely need to cook them in batches. Lightly spray or brush the tops of the pancakes with a little more vegetable oil.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of your pancakes. Repeat with the remaining batches.
Serve the crispy air fryer potato pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as applesauce, sour cream, or a fresh herb dip.
