Prepare the Potatoes and Onions:
Peel the potatoes and onions. Grate them into a large mixing bowl using the coarse side of your grater.
Combine the Ingredients:
To the grated potatoes and onions, add the eggs, grated cheese, a handful of chopped parsley, and wheat flour. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture is well combined.
Form the Patties:
If the mixture is too wet, add breadcrumbs to make a thicker consistency that holds together. Using your hands, form the mixture into flat, round patties. If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly grease them with a little oil or butter.
Cooking the Galettes:
Heat a generous amount of sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan, without overcrowding them. Cook until golden and crisp, about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Service :
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with absorbent paper to drain excess oil. Serve hot, garnished with a little more fresh parsley and a side dish of your choice.
Optional Service Suggestions:
These patties can be served with a dollop of sour cream, applesauce, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Note: This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a light dinner. The crispy exterior, combined with the soft and flavorful interior, makes these potato pancakes a delicious treat.
