Potato pancakes are made from grated raw potatoes with onion, eggs, flour and salt. In the savoury version, they can be served with goulash, sour cream, cottage cheese, paprikarz szczeciński or various types of sauces. In turn, sweet, they are served with sugar, jam, preserves or fruit mousse. The most important thing is that they are crispy and have a golden colour.
The easiest recipe for potato pancakes. They always turn out great.
Potato pancakes used to be a staple food in monasteries. They became a cheap and easy-to-obtain substitute for bread. They were associated with poverty, but are now considered one of the greatest Polish delicacies. If you want to prepare them for dinner, you will need:
- 1 kg peeled potatoes,
- 2 eggs,
- One onion,
- A bunch of chives,
- 2 tablespoons of wheat flour,
- Spices: salt, pepper, sugar,
- Frying oil.
From the given ingredients you should get about 25 pieces of pancakes. Grate and squeeze out excess water. Add flour, eggs, spices, chopped chives and chopped onion. Mix everything thoroughly and spoon the pancakes onto the pan.
TIP! If you don’t want to grate potatoes, you can blend them in a blender or food processor.

How to prevent the potato pancake mixture from turning dark? Magda Gessler advises
Fry the pancakes on both sides until golden brown. Be careful not to burn them. It is best to flip them every three minutes, when they start to brown on the bottom. Although the entire instruction seems trivial, it may happen that the mass darkens during the preparation of the meal. This is a natural process that results from the oxidation of potatoes after grating. It does not change the taste or their nutritional value. If this bothers you, use Magda Gessler’s trick. Just add a spoonful of 18% cream to the mixture. Lactic acid bacteria will effectively stop the darkening process. If you’d like, please vote in our poll below.
