Potato Pancakes Recipe

By Ben Panny


Potato pancakes are also referred to as latkes or latkas in Yiddish and Hebrew. Potato pancakes are shallow- fried pancakes of grated egg and potato. Normally pancakes are flavored with onion. I usually top my potato pancakes using a wide variety of condiments. In some cases I like them savory, whereas the other time I make them sweet with sugar and applesauce. When you rather have a taste for savory potato pancakes, try them out with some sour cream- yummy. Several instances I fed my loved ones with these potato pancakes even without any toppings or sauces and nevertheless they were delicious and disappeared from the plates with a large speed.

Potato Pancakes are a really tasty and warm factor to consume. They've lots extra flavor and taste than other pancakes. Potato pancakes are commonly related to standard Polish, Ukrainian, German, Czech and Hungarian cuisine. Other nations like Belarus, India or Korea have related potato pancakes.

Here, I present one of my favorite potato pancakes recipe. It is actually easy to make and you could serve your pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Potato Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

2 huge egg whites, 2 medium baking potatoes, 2 Tbsp flour, 2 tsp Canola oil, 2 Tbsp coarsely grated onion, Pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp salt

How to make Potato Pancakes:

First, peel the potatoes and onion. Then shred them having a grater onto 2 paper towels. The, twist the towels and the potatoes over the sink to wring out the left liquid.

Put potatoes to a mixing bowl.

Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Beat egg whites in a small bowl until foamy and add to the potatoes. Add also onions, pepper and salt. Add flour and toss gently to blend.

Take a frying pan or perhaps a heavy non-stick skillet and brush it with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Preheat for about 2 minutes on a medium heat.

Put about cup of potatoes mixture on the frying pan. Cook pancake approximately 7 minutes. Don't forget about flipping them to the other side during the cooking. Pancakes ought to be browned and crispy.

When ready, put your potato pancakes on the plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve pancakes with applesauce or sour cream.

Suggestions:

You may put sugar on the pancakes soon after you fry them to give them added flavor. But only if you'd like to make them sweet.

When frying, use a generous quantity of oil. I use peanut oil sometimes, which doesn't burn through the cooking process.
