How to cook potato pancakes

Ingredients:

For number of servings
  • Potatoes – 3 pcs.
  • Chicken egg – 2 pcs.
  • Milk – 250 ml
  • Wheat flour – 150 g
  • Salt - pinch(s)
  • Sugar – 1 tsp.
  • Garlic – 1 tooth.
  • Vegetable oil – 4 tbsp. + for greasing the pan
  • Green onion - taste

Preparation: Step 1

  • These pancakes can also be made from mashed potatoes that are left over from dinner. All you need to do is heat the puree well and combine it with the rest of the ingredients.

    Peel, wash, cut potatoes (approximately 250-300 g in peel), cut into cubes and boil in salted water until tender.

    Drain the water (there is no need to leave the potato broth to make mashed potatoes), mash the potatoes with a masher and make a thick mashed potato.

  • Step 2

    Heat the milk until it is hot.

    Pour hot milk into mashed potatoes.

  • Step 3

    Squeeze the garlic here through a special press (garlic press).

    Mix thoroughly and let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes.

  • Step 4

    Add eggs, salt, sugar and vegetable oil to the potato dough. Mix everything vigorously with a spatula or hand whisk.

  • Step 5

    Sift the wheat flour well and add it into the dough in parts (I added the flour in three additions, kneading the dough well with a whisk each time). Mix everything very thoroughly.

  • Step 6

    The dough is ready. Check its consistency. The batter should come out a little thicker than regular pancakes. If the dough is too thick, you can add a little warm milk.

  • Step 7

    It is better to fry pancakes in a small frying pan - this will make it easier to turn them over. Pancakes are also well fried in a special pancake frying pan (about 20 cm in diameter).

    Using a pastry brush, grease the frying pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil (you can also grease it with a piece of lard) and spread the potato dough in a thin layer over the frying pan. The dough can be spread with a spoon or by rotating the pan in a circular motion.

    To make potato pancakes even tastier, you can sprinkle one side with chopped green onions.

  • Step 8

    Turn the pancake over and fry it until golden brown.

  • Step 9

    Ready-made pancakes can be stacked, triangles, or rolled into a tube.


  • Step 10

    Soft and golden-brown potato pancakes are especially delicious when eaten hot with sour cream. Be sure to try it!
