Notes
- It's best to peel the potatoes for a soft inside, however we have tested the skin on potatoes as well and it works.
- Make sure to line a bowl with kitchen towel before grating potatoes and onions.
- We opt for white or yellow onions to avoid discoloration of the pancakes.
- Squeezing the moisture out of the grated potatoes and onions will yield crispier potato pancakes.
- When squeezing the moisture out, do it as best as you can but don't worry about removing every single piece of moisture.
- Start by mixing the egg first into the potatoes and onions to help bind them and other ingredients.
- We LOVE the addition of fresh herbs, you can additionally add some chilli flakes--so GOOD!
- Use a measuring cup size 1/4 cup (ideal for us) to get even and portioned pancakes.
- A neutral oil such as avocado oil is best for cooking these pancakes.
- drain the cooked pancakes on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- Sour cream and green onions.
- Smoked Salmon and sour cream for a breakfast dream!
- Roast Chicken and Gravy for a complete dinner.
- Brie and cranberries, herbs and honey for the Holidays!
- Side salad for a light lunch.
- Soups.
- Ribeye Steak or Best NY Strip Steak!
- We love Russet Potatoes since they have the highest starch content, however Yukon Gold are a great alternative. Theres a wonderful Guide to Potatoes on the Huffington Post which is worth a read!
- Thanks to our wonderful Air Fryer, we found that once the pancakes are cooked and cooled, they can be frozen. Freeze them in a single layer in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Remove them once frozen and place them in a tight container or ziploc in the freezer.
- To reheat, simply place them in a single layer and Air fry them at 350 for 4 minutes, flip the pancakes and air fry for 4-5 minutes more.
- While there's our Mashed Potato Pancakes, today's pancakes and latkes -these are all similar yet quite different. Both potato pancakes and Latkes are fried in oil and use grated potatoes and onions as the base ingredients, however thsi recipe relies on eggs and flour for binding. Latkes rely on baking powder and matzo meal for binding.
- They have slightly different texture because of that, but BOTH are equally TASTY!
- I can't urge you enough to try this easy recipe and let us know how you enjoyed it!!
