Instructions

Cut potatoes and onions roughly into cubes, they don’t have to be perfect- we are going to blend them up.
In a blender, add potato, onion and water; blend everything until smooth but not super smooth.
Strain them through a strainer over a large mixing bowl to collect all the liquid. Stir and push the potato mixture with a spoon against the strainer to get rid of as much excess liquid as possible. Transfer the solid potato mixture to another mixing bowl and set aside the bowl of liquid that we collected. The liquid contains a lot of potato starch and it will sink down to the bottom of the bowl. This will take about 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, you can see the liquid separated into 2 layers. Move it gently to a sink and pour the top part of liquid carefully. As you are pouring the liquid, you will see white potato starch stuck to the bottom of the bowl. Pour out liquid as much as you can, collect the potato starch and add it to the solid potato mixture.
Add salt into the potato mixture and combine well.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add enough cooking oil to cover surface. (about 4 tablespoons) Spoon out potato mixture for your desired pancake size. I like a sand dollar pancake size.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown, then carefully flip it over. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes until potato pancake is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove cooked potato pancakes from heat and place on a plate that is covered with paper towels. Repeat until your batter is gone and add oil as needed.
When you are ready to serve your potato pancakes, make salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce and next 4 ingredients. Toss greens, herbs and chili with the dressing and serve immediately with the potato pancakes.
