Here’s the ultimate golden recipe for potato pancakes that my family absolutely adores! This recipe guarantees a wonderfully crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful interior, making it a perfect dish for any occasion.
Main Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
Seasoning- 2 pinches of salt
- 2 pinches of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by washing the 3 potatoes thoroughly. Rinse them under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Next, use a vegetable peeler to carefully remove the skin from each potato. It’s best to proceed immediately to the next step after peeling to prevent the potatoes from discoloring.
Step 2
Grate the peeled potatoes using a fine grater. Be cautious to avoid injuring your hands while grating. If the potatoes are very large, cutting them in half before grating can make the process easier. The grated potatoes will release some moisture, which is perfectly fine to use in the batter.
Step 3
To the grated potatoes, add 2 pinches of salt and stir well until evenly incorporated. The salt enhances the natural sweetness of the potatoes and seasons them perfectly. If you wish to add other seasonings, feel free to include a pinch of black pepper or some chopped green onions at this stage, according to your preference.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Ladle portions of the potato batter into the pan, spreading them out to form pancakes. Cook until the edges are golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side until golden as well. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. Once both sides are beautifully golden and cooked through, your delicious potato pancakes are ready! Enjoy them hot for the best texture and flavor. ❤
