Instructions

  1. 1Grate the potatoes and carrot on the coarse side of the grater. Grate the onion on the fine side so it releases its juice and aroma.
  2. 2Place the grated potatoes and vegetables in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Wrap the towel and squeeze it firmly over the sink. Important: Removing as much liquid as possible is key to keeping the pancakes crispy and not soggy.
  3. 3Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the squeezed potatoes, carrot, onion, flour, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly with a fork to get an even mixture.
  4. 4Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Spoon the mixture into the pan using a large spoon (about 2 tablespoons per pancake).
  5. 5Slightly flatten each mound with a spoon to form a pancake about 1 cm thick.
  6. 6Cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side, until the edge is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side.
  7. 7Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice and garlic for a refreshing dip.
  8. 8Place the cooked pancakes on a paper towel to absorb excess fat, and serve them hot with the prepared dip.

Nutritional benefits

Replacing classic sour cream with Greek yogurt increases the protein content, while squeezing out the potatoes reduces the need for excess oil, making digestion easier.
