Ingredients

  • 1 5.5 oz. package hash brown potato mix with onions
  • 1 ¾ cups boiling water
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the hash brown potato mix with the boiling water.
  • Let it stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain any excess liquid.
  • Pour the vegetable oil over the drained potatoes and toss until evenly coated.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the flour and salt, stirring until well combined.
  • Stir the egg mixture into the potatoes until evenly distributed.
  • Heat a medium-hot griddle or skillet and lightly grease with oil or non-stick spray.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture onto the griddle, spreading it out into a 4-inch round pancake.
  • Repeat with the remaining mixture, leaving some space between each pancake.
  • Cook the pancakes for 3 to 4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip them over and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
  • Once cooked, transfer the potato pancakes to a serving platter and serve them hot, optionally garnished with sour cream, applesauce, or your preferred toppings.
