Instructions

Cook the potatoes in salted water until soft, about 20 minutes, but check. Drain well and let cool. Then, peel and mash them with a potato masher or a fork.
Batter: Add the salt, flour, sour cream, milk, and lightly beaten eggs. Stir to mix.
Heat about 1 teaspoon of oil in a non-stick pan. Spread the oil in the pan using a brush.
Fry: Place 1 tablespoon batter into the pan, level nicely, and form a round patty. Repeat with as many patties as you can fit in the pan (I can make 4 at a time in my pan). Fry on medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side or until nicely colored and cooked through.
Fry the remaining pancakes, adding another teaspoon of oil to the pan before each batch.Keep warm in the oven while you fry the rest of the patties.
Serve sweet or savory (Note 2).

Notes

This is a good recipe for using leftover boiled potatoes in the skin.
Serve as a side dish for soups, with a salad, as a side dish for meat and sauce dishes. Or serve sweet with applesauce, blueberry sauce or drizzled with honey or maple syrup.
