PERFECT POTATO PANCAKES



Perfect Potato Pancakes image

I like to serve these potato pancakes with barbecued sausage. They're also nice with baked ham and applesauce or with breakfast sausages. And, with these and other types of meals, they're a good alternative to french fries. My children are married, and I'm a widow. So I don't do as much cooking as I once did. Guests always ask for the recipe when I serve this dish, though. And when my son and his family visited me from Winnipeg not long ago, one of the first things he asked for were Perfect Potato Pancakes!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato pancakes because they have a high starch content which helps to bind the pancakes together.
  • Grate the potatoes finely: This will help the pancakes to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too thick.
  • Squeeze out excess moisture: Use a cheesecloth or paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes. This will help the pancakes to crisp up.
  • Season the batter well: Be generous with the salt and pepper, and add other seasonings to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chopped herbs.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes hot: Potato pancakes are best served hot out of the pan. They can be topped with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite breakfast toppings.

Conclusion:

Potato pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like them plain or topped with your favorite breakfast toppings, potato pancakes are a great way to start your day.
