SWEDISH POTATO PANCAKES (RAGGMUNK)



Swedish Potato Pancakes (Raggmunk) image

I don't know if this is exactly how gramma made her potato pancakes, as I never got the actual recipe. But I remember grating onion for hers so this is a hybrid of my memory and a basic version from Scandinavia.com. I think a major component missing in the online recipe was baking powder. Also, this can be started the night before by grating the potatoes and then covering them with cold water and refrigerating overnight.

Time 26m

Yield 15-20 pancakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs potatoes (raw & firm)
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups milk (or less)
3 tablespoons onions, grated
2 eggs
sour cream (optional garnish)
chives (or green onions for optional garnish)
lingonberry jam (optional garnish)

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.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 slices bacon, thickly sliced (or salt pork)
2 lbs russet potatoes
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt (or less)

Steps:

  • Fry bacon in heavy skillet until crisp. Remove to warm plate. Pour off all but 1 Tbs. bacon fat.
  • Peel and coarsely grate potatoes, place in paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Whisk together milk, egg, flour and salt; fold grated potatoes into batter.
  • Heat pan to medium high. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, transfer batter to pan. Flatten each pancake to 3" diameter. Fry a few minutes on each side until golden.
  • Transfer to platter in a warm oven until all are ready.
  • Serve with the bacon and lingonberries, if available!

Tips:

  • Use a large grater to grate the potatoes. This will help to create a light and fluffy pancake.
  • Squeeze the excess water out of the grated potatoes before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the pancakes from becoming too soggy.
  • Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat before cooking the pancakes. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, lingonberry jam, or bacon.
