• 1 pound large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1/2 large onion
• 2 tablespoons potato starch

1. Whisk sour cream together with chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.

3. Pour a 1/4-inch layer of oil into a large skillet and set over medium heat. Form the potato onion mixture into 1/8-cup pancakes, about 3 inches wide each.
4. Working in batches, cook pancakes in hot oil for about 5 minutes, flipping once midway through cooking time, until browned. Serve with the flavored sour cream.
