Dad’s Potato Pancakes

This is exactly the recipe I use. My husband grew up with these, and we love them. Anyone that thinks these are bland, also must not like French fries. They are perfect, husband is also German

GREAT!

These were very good. I hand grated the potatoes and squeezed out the water before adding the egg, pancake mix and seasoning. I used an onion that was a little too small so I suggest using a medium to large onion for added flavor

This was a very easy recipe, and they turned out great. Haven’t had potato pancakes in a long time. 5 stars!!!

I’m surprised that this tasted better than I would have thought. I just needed a little more salt. I’ll try this with some cajun seasoning next time.

Yum, yum, yum! Best served fresh, not as good the next day. I used left over mashed potatoes and onion powder. Turned out wonderful.

this recipe was simple and delish. I added garlic,parsley,and shredded cheddar as well. thinking crushed red pepper will add nicely also.

Pregnancy cravings wanted potatoes but something different but quick. Omg this hit the spot! Who knew simple ingredients that is always in your kitchen makes a delicious “restaurant quality but homemade” flavor!!! I have to make these for hubby when he wakes up! (Currently 3:30 am) lol

I used some left over mashed potatoes; I seasoned it as instructed, but I had some left over crispy fried on onions ( the kind you put on green bean casserole). I crushed them up and folded them into the batter. It was outstanding!! I cooked them in a pain with butter about 3 min on each side over med heat. My 7 y/o ate 5 of them.

Potatoes MUST be hand grated

I have been trying to find a recipe for potato pancakes like my grandmother used to make. This is not quite it but pretty close and they are very good.

It’s ok. Kids ate it with lots of syrup.

Woke up Christmas Eve Morning with a strong hankering for potato pancakes!Ask myself do u really want to get into all that? So I made an adjustment, some may call cheating, but made this so much faster, easier, and tastes exactly the same. I used frozen hash browns, thawed by running under cold water in a strainer for about 2 minutes. Dried off potatos with paper towels. Then continued as usual. I also added fresh chopped garlic, a dash of paprika & couple drops of worschestershire sauce. Another quick time saver I used my pancake flipper pan. Double sided pan They turned out so delicious!.

Ok, nice idea. I think cooking the potatoes first would help.

Great recipe, good consistency. I added garlic and corn to the last half of the batch and they were yummy, the first ones were a bit sweeter, probably due to my pancake mix.

Yum!!!! Best potato pancake recipe I’ve tried yet!

I used the basic recipe,I didn’t use 5 lbs of potatoes it’s just the 2 of us so I just peeled what I needed. Then I added half of a large onion and 3 cloves of garlic salt and pepper to taste. Then put in 2 large eggs and then added the pancake batter (pwd form) I used Krusteaz buttermilk pancake mix.The kind you use will make a difference, this is the best I have ever found. Put in enough so batter is not too runny then fry in oil. My pancakes turned out the best they ever had! Even my husband was happy with them.

This was quite good. I had to alter just a bit. Didn’t have regular pancake mix so I used what I had – Sweet Potato Pancake mix. It was yummy.

I followed the recipe exactly but with regard to technique – after grating the potato and onion in my food processor, I then poured them into a towel to squeeze out the excess water. These were extremely easy to prepare and the only suggestion I would make is to salt to your personal taste.

These were some pretty fabulous potato pancakes. You can really throw whatever you’d like on top and it’s great.

Topped with sour cream and New Mexico red chili or salsa……yummmmmm. Thanks for the recipe!
