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!

These potato pancakes were a bit bland. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potato pancakes didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
