Servings: persons

1 onion, grated
3 baking potatoes, like russets peeled and grated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more, as needed
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons finely grated fresh horseradish
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
6 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish

1
In a bowl, combine the onion and potato.
2
Dust with the flour and mix to disperse it.
3
Add the eggs, horseradish, lemon zest, fresh dill, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined.
4
In a large non-stick saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
5
Once the bubbles from the butter subside, spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture into the saute pan.
6
Repeat, making 8 to 12 pancakes.
7
Cook pancakes about 4 minutes on each side, assuring that both sides are well browned and the potato is cooked through.
8
Reduce the heat of the pan if the potato cakes are browning too quickly in order to make sure the inside is cooked completely.
9
Remove the cakes to a paper towel lined plate as they finish, and season with salt while hot.
10
You can cover them with foil and keep in a 200 degrees F oven to stay warm until ready to serve.

To serve, transfer potato cakes to a platter and dollop each one with creme fraiche.
12
Top with a sprig of dill.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
