PrintIn medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch, baking powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add grated potatoes and egg white and stir to combine thoroughly. In 10” nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Use ¼-cup metal measuring cup to drop four mounds of batter into skillet. Flatten each mound slightly with spatula, if necessary. Fry pancakes until lightly browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve immediately, with garnishes if desired.
Leftover Egg Yolk: Save the unused egg yolk and toss it into the other eggs for a frittata or use it in scrambled eggs.
