Potato and Carrot Pancakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and grate the potatoes and carrots using a box grater or a food processor.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and carrots.

3. 3

   Add the egg, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

5. 5

   Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato and carrot mixture and place it in the skillet, flattening it slightly with a spatula to form a pancake.

6. 6

   Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

8. 8

   Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

9. 9

   Serve the pancakes warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce.
