How To Make Potato Pancakes
Either sweet or savory, potato pancakes serve as a delicious dish shared commonly by countries all over the world. And although their toppings may vary, the scrumptious base of this meal remains delectably the same. By using grated potatoes, flour, salt and sometimes minced onion and garlic, the potato pancake has all the right ingredients for being delicious off the bat. When making it for a savory main course or side, topping it with sour cream, green onion, meat sauce a la Polish traditions or sauerkraut a la Czech ones can be a quick and easy dish to serve up any night of the week. But all of their amazingness doesn’t stop there. Sub out the onion, salt and garlic for a bit of blueberry, apple sauce or cinnamon and sugar and you have a seriously scrumptious breakfast or dessert dish too. Personally, we love our potato pancakes any way their served up.
