Easy to Make Potato Pancakes - Crispy & Delicious Recipe

Golden brown, crispy, and delicious potato pancakes are a treat for any meal! This simple recipe uses minimal ingredients for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Golden Delight Potatoes (washed, peeled, coarsely grated)

• Salt & Pepper to taste

• Cooking Oil

• Fresh Cilantro for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Place the coarsely grated potatoes in a large bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly.

Step 2

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and pour in enough cooking oil to reach about half a centimeter up the side of the pan.

Step 3

Scoop four 1/3-cup portions of the seasoned potatoes into the hot pan. Flatten each portion slightly with a spatula for even cooking.

Step 4

Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are crisp and golden brown. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 5

Repeat the process in 2 more batches with the remaining potato mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

Tips for Success

• Use a paper towel to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes for crispier pancakes.
• Serve with sour cream or applesauce for a classic pairing.

FAQs for Easy to Make Potato Pancakes

Q1: Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, while Golden Delight potatoes work best for their texture and flavor, you can substitute them with other starchy potatoes like Russet potatoes for similarly crispy results.

Q2: How can I make these potato pancakes healthier?

To make a healthier version, you can bake the potato pancakes instead of frying. Place the flattened potato portions on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush them lightly with oil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Q3: What can I serve with potato pancakes?

Potato pancakes pair wonderfully with sour cream, applesauce, or even a tangy yogurt dip. You can also serve them alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
