I tried to make potato pancakes and I failed miserably :(. I dont want to give up but I really followed the recipe and it didnt work. It tasted like onion quiet and it wouldnt cook from the inside only burn from the outside.

Hello,

I was working on a recipe I found online on Foodnetwork. I had the ingredients:

1 egg 1 potato 1 flour 1 onion

I boiled my potato, mashed it, added an egg, added onion, and flour. At the beginning it was pretty sticky, so I kept adding flour and kneading it. Anyhow, finally I was able to make my dough and then into circles shapes. As I put it on the pan, it would only burn from the side I flip to. Then it tasted so much like onion which was pretty bad. I tried to open the inside of it and it was still not cooked. Only dough. I felt pretty disappointed. Perhaps it was an issue with my proportions, maybe I needed more potato?

I am planning to try again today but without onion. My plan is to mash the potato and add flour to it then knead it and roll in then fry it.

I am debating if I should add egg to it or not?

Thank you,
