  1. 01

    Grate the potato and onion into a bowl. Squeeze out some of the excess liquid so the mixture is moist but not watery.

  2. 02

    Stir in the eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper until the mixture holds together.

  3. 03

    Heat a thin layer of sunflower oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  4. 04

    Spoon in portions of the potato mixture and flatten them slightly. Fry until the bottoms are deep golden and crisp, then turn and cook the other side until the centers are cooked through.

  5. 05

    Serve the pancakes immediately with sour cream.
