Ingredients:
- 2 small Idaho® potatoes (about ¾ pound total), peeled
- 1 small onion
- 1 medium celery root (about 1¼ pounds), peeled
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- vegetable oil, for frying
Directions:
- Line 2 wire racks with paper towels.
- Using the large holes of a box grater or the shredding disk of a food processor, grate the potatoes and onion.
- Working over a small bowl, squeeze the liquid out of the potato and onion and transfer the grated vegetables to a medium bowl. Let the liquid stand for 1 minute, then pour it off, leaving the potato starch at the bottom. Scrape the starch into the potato shreds.
- Grate the celery root and add it to the potatoes along with the eggs, flour and salt.
- In each of 2 large nonstick skillets, heat ¼˝ of oil until shimmering. For each pancake, add a scant ¼-cup of the batter to a skillet and flatten slightly; you should be able to fit 8 pancakes in each skillet.
- Cook the pancakes over moderately high heat until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to the prepared wire racks to drain.
