Perfect Potato Pancakes Every Time!
Potato pancakes with their crispy exterior and soft inside, make for a tasty, savoury side dish option. Instead of making a side of homemade french fries, consider potato pancakes for a different taste and texture.
Your best bet is to use a non stick skillet to fry the potato pancakes. And unlike french fries, potato pancakes don’t need to be fully submerged in oil. There just needs to be enough on the bottom of the pan for each side of the pancake to rest in, about 1/8″ high.
