Perfect Potato Pancakes
2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
vegetable oil for frying
1. Using a grater or a food processor coarsely grate the potatoes. Place potatoes in a fine-mesh strainer or tea towel and really squeeze out all the water over a bowl.
2. Heat a non-stick pan and coat with a thin film of vegetable oil. Take about 2 tablespoons of the dried potatoes in the palm of your hand and flatten as best you can. Place the potato mixture in the pan, flatten with a large spatula, and fry for a few minutes until golden. Flip the pancake over and brown the other side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately. Yields 2 dozen small pancakes. (You can also freeze the potato pancakes and crisp them up in a 350-degree oven at a later time.)
Serve with smoked salmon, sour cream and chives, apple sauce or horseradish cream.
Horseradish Cream
1 cup of sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon
1 tablespoon horseradish
salt and pepper
Mix all ingredients and serve.

These look delicious. I'll have to give them a try. You must be a wonderful cook!
You don't have to be a great cook! Just make sure you get all the water out of the potatoes before you cook them are you will have a great pancake!
I am trying these, in say 1 minute! I love this treat more than most.
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Happy Monday.

Those look delicious! Not going to lie, I shortcut mine with pre-shredded potatoes, shh. :)
So my hubby is usually the creative one in the kitchen. However, since he's away serving his country I'll have to attempt to do this myself! Scary... But, I think I can do it:-)
I prepared them the other day and we ate them 1,2,3.
One of my friends made them using cauliflower.
I want to try them using just onions....
