Best 6 No Fuss No Mess Potato Pancakes Recipes

NO FUSS NO MESS POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a blender, in the order of the recipe.
• Blend pulsating until well mixed.
• Pour onto a hot griddle (380°) that has been greased (I use margarine). Pour to the size you desire.
• Turn when edges are brown.
• These are great served with sour cream, applesauce, jam, syrup or cheese.

GERMAN-STYLE CRISP POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the mashed potatoes with the lemon juice and stir well.
• In a dry bowl, combine the onion, caraway seeds, fresh parsley, flour, egg and milk.
• Stir in potatoes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Over medium heat, melt 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter in a wide frying pan.
• When butter starts to foam add about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, spreading into a 4 inch pancake. Repeat to make 2 or 3 more cakes, enough to fill the pan but not overcrowd.
• Cook, turn once, until golden brown on both sides about 5 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed to fry pancakes.
• Using a wide spatula, lift pancakes from pan and transfer to warming tray in low oven at 200 degrees. Continue cooking remainder of potato mixture.
• Keep warm until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh parsley and top with sour cream if desired.

CRISPY (NO-FRY) POTATO PANCAKE POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Very generously brush melted butter into the bottom and sides of 24 mini muffin cups. Place the tin(s) on a baking sheet and set aside until needed.
• Add cold water to a large bowl until 1/3 full. Grate potatoes into the cold water, then fill the bowl almost to the top with more cold water. Swish the potatoes around with your hands to rinse off the starch, then pour off most of the water and refill with more cold water. Continue this process until the water runs almost clear. Pour potatoes into a colander and let drain for a few minutes.
• Transfer grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap potatoes in the towel and squeeze over a bowl until no more liquid comes out.
• Transfer potatoes to a clean bowl and add garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, and olive oil. Sprinkle flour over top, then add Parmigiano-Reggiano. Mix and toss gently with your hands until thoroughly combined and mixture feels damp.
• Grab potato mixture from the bottom of the bowl to get as much moisture as possible, and fill the prepared muffin cups. It's okay if the mixture comes up above the pan by 1/2 to 1 inch.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown on top, caramelized on the bottom, and crispy all over, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for 5 minutes before flipping them over onto the baking sheet.

CRISPY POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and put in cold water. Using a mandoline, grater or food processor, coarsely grate the potato. Place in a fine-mesh sieve or strainer, and squeeze out all of the potato liquid over a bowl. After the starch has settled to the bottom of the bowl, carefully pour off the clear liquid, reserving the starch. Add the grated potato to the starch in the bowl, along with the reserved crumbled bacon, egg, salt and pepper.
• Heat a nonstick pan with a small amount of oil in the bottom of the pan.
• When the oil is hot, take about one-eighth of the potato mixture in the palm of your hand and, using the other hand, flatten and squeeze to remove any excess liquid.
• Place the potato mixture in the heated pan and cook, pressing down with a spatula to flatten, until crispy and golden, about 3 minutes on each side.
• Transfer to a paper-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining potato cakes.

SWEDISH POTATO PANCAKES (RAGGMUNK)

Steps:

• Peel, rinse and grate the raw potatoes into a bowl of very cold water. (If you're starting this the night before, cover bowl and refrigerate potatoes in the water til morning.).
• Drain potato shreds in a wire mesh strainer or colander and using your hands, press as much moisture out as possible. Cover with a paper towel and set aside.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and one cup of the milk to make a smooth batter.
• Add the grated onion, eggs and remaining milk, if needed to make a slightly thin batter. Whisk until combined.
• Stir the potato shreds into the batter.
• Heat griddle or large frying pan to about 350°F and rub the griddle with a thin coat of canola oil (I use a paper towel to do this & you may need to reapply between each batch).
• When oil is hot, pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the griddle and cook until golden on the bottom. Flip pancake over and cook until golden on that side.
• Serve with sour cream & chives or lingonberry jam.

GREAT NO-GRATE POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Pour potatoes into large bowl and thaw about 1 hour.
• While still very cold add onion and egg's, stir in eggs until blended.
• Stir in baking powder, flour and salt.
• Heat some oil in frying pan over medium heat.
• Shape 1/2 cup in hand and place in oil, pack and shape gently with spatula.
• Cook 15 minutes on each side. I like to cook mine slowly to ensure potatoes are cooked and evenly browned. The less they are moved the less they tend to fall apart. Check them gently every 5 minutes When browned evenly carefully flip them, repack with spatula and cook 15 minutes more.
• Drain on paper towel 1 minute.
• Transfer to warm serving dish (I like to keep mine in the oven set at 200°F).
• Do several at a time, don't overcrowd, you will need to do them in batches.
• Serve with sour cream, applesauce or gravy.
