Potato Pancake

[Legion Para]

In December 2012 donna did a thread on Hanukkah and it mentioned latkes.

Potato pancakes go back centuries and many countries have their own version of them. A recent thread was started on noodle pudding and I thought we needed something on potato pancakes.

Mmm, mmm, good. Love me some potato latkes. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks from me too. They are delicious.

We have potato pancakes often as it makes a different way to use potatoes.i like mine with applesauce while my wife is a sour cream fan.potato pancakes are made with shredded potatoes but sometimes my wife will make them with leftover mashed potatoes mixing some shredded cheese before she fries them.

Delicious! MrsMRB makes them with leftover mashed potatoes too. Sometimes adds cheese, and sometimes I put a dollop of Grey Poupon on mine. Now I am hungry for them again!

We make them with grated potato, not shredded. Lots of onion, salt and pepper.....don't forget the baking powder to make them fluffy!

Mention of potato pancakes, so bumped this thread.

Leftover baked potatoes work well.

I love potato pancakes, but enjoy them only rarely. They do seem ore special that way. We have trouble keeping potatoes here, we have to use them quickly.
