Steps

1

Shred the potatoes and onion into a bowl (I use a box grater).
2

Mix the grated potatoes and onion together, then squeeze the mix hard to get rid of as much moisture as you can (I do this by hand in batches).
3

Thoroughly mix the flour and 1/2 the beaten egg into the potato and onion mix. Season to taste.
4

Heat the oil over high heat. I use soy bean oil and fill the saute pan with enough oil to cover the bottom of the saute pan with about 1/4 inch.
5

Mold the mix into balls using your hands, place the balls in the oil, then press with a spatula to flatten them a bit.
6

Cook on both sides until crispy and brown.
7

Remove the pancakes from the oil and place on paper towels or metal drip rack to remove grease.
8

Top with salmon, sour cream, dill, and capers, garnish plate with lemon wedges, and serve while pancakes are still warm.
