Recipe for real potato pancakes

A kilo of peeled potatoes and 300 grams of onions should be grated using a grater.

An important point: you need to use the spiky side of the device, and not the part with the small teardrop-shaped holes.

The resulting potato-onion mass must be transferred to a sieve. The latter must be placed on some container. For example, on a saucepan or a bowl.

After five minutes, the liquid that appears in the container should be drained. But do not throw away the thick part. This is starch, which should be returned to the vegetable mixture.

The resulting mass must be salted (1/2 teaspoon will be quite enough).

The result will be a base from which you can make gorgeous potato pancakes - delicious and tender.

Earlier, gourmets were told what to replace butter with in baking.
