HOMEMADE POTATO PANCAKES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Shred the potatoes using the food processor (shredder disk).
• Put shredded potatoes in the colander in the sink, and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Wait for 5 minutes, then squeeze out even more liquid.
• Grate the onion using the inside steel blade of the food processor.
• Mix potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in the non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat (I use 2 frying pans on 2 burners to save time or a large griddle).
• Form the potato mixture into patties (squeeze out even more excess liquid as you go) and put on a frying pan.
• Cook the potato pancakes for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes (or until golden-brown on both sides and cooked through). Check the potato pancakes from time to time and adjust the heat setting - if they are starting to turn too dark, the heat is too high, and if they are pale, it's too low.
• Remove the latkes from the frying pan and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
• Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Whisk the butter into the milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
• Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
• Procedure for adding fruit to pancakes: Once the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, scatter the surface with sliced or diced fruit, or chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Flip with a spatula and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to burn toppings.
