SODIUM CONTENT: 54.2 mg per serving

INGREDIENTS

3 c. grated potato (about 6 medium potatoes, peeled)
1/2 c. grated onion (about 1 small onion)
2 eggs, beaten
3 T. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
1 c. vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

Place shredded potato and onion in a large mixing bowl. Add the beaten eggs, flour, pepper and nutmeg and stir well to combine. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high. Once oil is hot, add 1/3 c. of the potato mixture, flatten slightly with a spatula, and cook until golden brown and crisp on bottom, about 3-5 minutes. Flip gently and brown on second side, another 3-5 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on towels before serving. Serve warm.
