Potato pancakes

Potatos in Lithuanian cuisine are one of the most popular ingredients. This vegetable is cultivated in Lithuania, so there is no need to bring it from other countries and in comparison to other vegetables it is pretty cheap. 
What is more, this dish is one of the most favorite in our family and it was always made by my grandmother, mainly in winter time.

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• sour cream for a souce

Instructions:

1. Finely grate potatoes with onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
2. Mix in egg, salt, and black pepper. Add enough flour to make mixture thick, about 2 to 4 tablespoons all together.
3. Turn oven to low, about 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
4. Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Drop two or three 1/4 cup mounds into hot oil, and flatten to make 1/2 inch thick pancakes. Fry, turning once, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towel lined plates to drain, and keep warm in low oven until serving time. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.
