Mushroom Filling

 2 tbsp butter or oil
 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, finely chopped (about 225g)
 ¼ cup finely chopped onion
 2 garlic, minced
 ½ tsp fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried)
 ½ tsp salt
 ¼ tsp black pepper
 2 tbsp sour cream

Potato Pancakes

 2 russet potatoes, peeled and grated (about 900g)
 1 small onion, grated
 2 large eggs
 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour (or matzo meal)
 1 tsp salt
 ¼ tsp black pepper
 ½ cup neutral oil, for frying
1

Make the filling. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cook 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, cook 6–8 minutes until liquid evaporates. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Off heat, stir in sour cream. Cool slightly.

2

Prep the potatoes. Grate the potatoes and onion. Wrap in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine with eggs, flour, salt, and pepper.

3

Stuff and shape. Flatten 2 tablespoons of potato mixture in your palm, add 1 teaspoon of mushroom filling, top with another 2 tablespoons of potato mixture, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat for the remaining mixture (about 10 patties).

4

Fry. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry patties in batches, not touching, for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and cooked through.

5

Drain and serve. Drain on a wire rack (not paper towels). Serve warm, with sour cream on the side if desired.
