Useful Tips

To make pancakes tasty, you need to know some of the subtleties of their preparation:

• Do not take young potatoes, because there is still a little starch in it, but there may be an increased content of nitrates (therefore, it is better to boil and pour the broth).
• You can chop potatoes and onions in a meat grinder or blender. But traditionally vegetables are rubbed on a fine grater.
• So that the potatoes do not darken, they rub it in turn with onions.
• If the grated mass dispensed a lot of juice, it is better to squeeze it out or strain it, throwing it into a colander.
• In the dough, you can add not only flour, but also starch - then the crust will turn out crispy.
• Excess flour can make potato pancakes “rubber”.
• There is an option for cooking potato pancakes with eggs - 1-2 eggs for every 0.5 kg of potatoes.
• Fried potato pancakes are best served in a hot cast iron skillet. At the same time, there should be quite a lot of vegetable oil so that potato pancakes are immersed in it to half.
• Ready-made potato pancakes should be laid out on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• If you don’t want a dish that is too greasy, take a non-stick pan. You still need oil, but in much smaller quantities - 1 tbsp. l for each batch.
• An even more gentle option (but, alas, without a crispy toasted crust) is to cover the pan with a lid. Then the potatoes will be cooked, but the pancakes will not be too fried. This is not quite pancakes, but also very tasty.
• Potato pancakes are served hot, usually with fresh sour cream. You can add grated garlic and / or herbs and spices to it.
