All kinds of pancakes do not exist: sweet, with various additives, snack bars with vegetables, with the addition of cheese, herbs, ham or mushrooms. Pancakes can serve as a full breakfast and afternoon tea. Today I propose to cook potato pancakes and serve them with sour cream - it will be a wonderful and hearty breakfast!

To make pancakes, we need potatoes, butter, salt, black pepper, baking powder, an egg and flour. Potatoes need to be washed and peeled. I indicated the weight of the potatoes in peeled form.

Boil the potatoes until tender, add salt at the end. Drain all the water and mash the potatoes with a crush. Add butter. Stir and let the potatoes cool slightly. At this stage, I decided to add frozen dill to the pancakes to make them more attractive. You should also add black pepper and beat in an egg. Stir well.

Then add flour and baking powder. You may need more or less flour than indicated, the potato mass should stick well and not fall apart.

Sprinkle flour on a plate, form pancakes with wet hands and put on a plate.

You can put it directly into a preheated skillet with butter. With the rest of the mass, I did just that: I moistened my hands with water, formed pancakes and fried immediately.

Put the finished pancakes on paper towels to remove excess fat. From this amount of ingredients, I got 15 delicious pancakes for 3 servings.

The history of the spread of potatoes in Europe is ambiguous and confusing. If in modern Russia it became possible to cook pancakes from mashed potatoes and other dishes from its tubers thanks to the works of Andrei Bolotov, then in France and other European countries this happened thanks to Antoine Auguste Parmentier.

The fate of this man, who was left an orphan early, was not easy. But knowledge of human nature helped him in promoting potatoes as a food product. For example, on a plot of land allocated to him in the suburbs of Paris, he planted potatoes. In the daytime, the landing was guarded by a formidable guard. The guards were removed at night. Accordingly, out of curiosity for such a protected plant, local residents entered the site and stole tubers.

He hosted dinner parties where he served potato dishes and presented bouquets of his flowers. In the late 18th century, potatoes helped survive a series of lean years in northern France. And in besieged Paris during the years of the revolution, potatoes were planted even in city parks. In memory of Parmentier, a number of potato dishes are named after him, for example, Parmentier potato mashed soup, or Parmentier gratin potato and minced meat casserole. Modern housewives are also to some extent indebted to this person for the ability to cook a variety of dishes from potatoes.

Mashed potato pancakes

Cooking pancakes from mashed potatoes is permissible both in the lean version and in the usual one. In the first case, instead of eggs, potato starch is added to mashed potatoes, which performs a binding role.
Eggs are not added to dishes on fast days, since according to church laws on fasting days, it is impossible to eat food of animal origin.

You can make such a wonderful dish from potatoes as mouth-watering potato pancakes, it will turn out delicious and even very satisfying. Moreover, it is so easy and simple to prepare them that such a procedure will not even cause fatigue. So, pleasant chores.

Potato fritters

A potato dish will be especially useful during fasting days, in a period when there is no desire to tinker with meat products and cook something complicated. We can safely say that potato pancakes are a completely economical dish, while very tasty and healthy. We already know that potatoes contain many important vitamins and minerals that our body needs. So we will not deny ourselves the pleasure of “recharging” with such usefulness.

We will spend quite a bit of time preparing this dish. You don't even need any skill. All you need to do is knead the potato dough, mold the required potato pancakes from it and fry them until golden brown in a pan. We will prepare in advance everything we need that we need during their preparation.

We need the following products:

• potatoes - 1 kg;
• flour - about 60-70 g;
• salt - to your taste;
• eggs - 1-2 pcs;
• onion - 1 pc;
• lean oil - 50-60 g (for browning).

What do we need from dishes and other kitchen items:

• a bowl for kneading "dough";
• wooden plank;
• pan;
• cooking vane;
• mortar or potato slice.

The knife will come in handy for turning pancakes fried on one side to the other side. You can, of course, do without it, but it's somehow more convenient with it. Well, that's for sure. As for the boards, the owners in the kitchen should have at least three: for cutting meat. for vegetables and for making dough (for the same pancakes, dumplings or dumplings).

You can actually cook potato pancakes without onions. Some chefs do just that, considering this recipe a classic. But personally, I like the onion better. Also, in some cases, flour is not added. But still, in my opinion, the dish is better with flour.

Potato Pancake Recipe

The first rule is to prepare all the food. Let them be at our fingertips so that we don't run after them (some to the cellar, some to the refrigerator).

It is best to make pancakes from mashed potatoes, cooked on the basis of potatoes boiled in their skins. Do not be embarrassed by the fact that it kneads more easily if you cook it without the skin. Nothing, we have a mortar. But such potatoes will allow us to fry excellent pancakes that will not decay. Boil potatoes in uniforms, peel them off.

Thoroughly knead the boiled and peeled potatoes until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Our mashed potato pancakes should be great, so it's important to try to cook everything well.

Peel, wash, finely chop the onion and put in mashed potatoes.

Pour a couple of eggs into mashed potatoes.

Now it's time to pour out the flour and mix everything. It is not necessary to pour too much of it, the pancakes should not be "clogged", that is, very hard.

We pinch off the lumps from the dough, roll up the balls, flatten them and get a semi-finished product of the future dish.

Pour oil into a hot pan and fry first one side of the pancakes, then the other. Here we need a knife with a spatula.

It's good if you have sour cream or some kind of sauce in the fridge. they can be served with the dish. Our potato pancakes will turn out great if we do everything right. The crust should be thin, ruddy. And the pancakes themselves are incredibly tasty.
