Potato pancakes, or latkes, are really versatile. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they can be a side dish for just about any meal or the main course for a light meal. We have them often at our house. &mdash;Lydia Robotewskyj, Franklin, Wisconsin

excellent, I made pork schnitzel, sweet and sour red cabbage and these potatoes.   my husbands birthday dinner request.   I will make these again.   Janet. VFE

These were very simple and delicious.  Soaking up the liquid from the potatoes is the key to the crispy success!  I will definitely make them again.

I am Czech.  Adding a little garlic is great.  Make in food processor or blender.  Put in bowl and tip slightly to drain. Save a few for next morning .  Cut up and break eggs  and cook slightly.  PERFECT!!!!

May I recommend mixing all ingredients first-then grating/adding potatoes at very last. They turn grey rapidly! Been making for years.

This is a family favorite - we always have these with breakfast sausages, syrup and plum jam.  It&#039;s a great fast meal with a nice blend of hearty pancakes, tart jam and the sweetness of syrup.

My dad, german heritage used to make delicious potato pancakes. They were potatoey and with onion. I especially remember when he got the old wooden handled grinder and hooked it to the table, he would be making a favorite food. He would put a pan on the floor to catch all of the potato starch liquid. If at a garage sale, look for one of these grinders. It’s old fashioned and fun!! I kept dads!! This recipe great just as shown unless you wants to use. white or yellow onion. Don’t overpower. Better with a little ketchup if anythi g. Drop the syrup.

I am of polish descent also, We use red skin potatoes and no onion. Top them with sour cream as a meal and with sugar or jelly as a dessert. Yum!

We omit the onion and pour syrup over them like you do on pancakes.  We don&#039;t have these very often because all of us could eat and eat these.

Hexesharon... If I had to guess, I&#039;d say the green was chopped parsley. Personally, I would add chopped chives, and serve with applesauce. That&#039;s how us Polacks eat them!
