Have you ever eaten potato pancakes? Do you have a recipe for them?

Grated potatoes, drained, some onions, an egg. Fry them up is the way my Mom used to make them. I do the same thing, I guess she used measurements, but I never have. 4 or 5 potatoes, an egg and an onion. I use good sized potatoes.

My dad used to make them all the time when I was younger. They are absolutely yummy, and you can put any kind of condiment you want on them. Syrup if you want them sweet, or ketchup or whatever to make it more like a potato type meal. Unfortunately, I wasn't the cooking type, so I never paid attention to how he made them. So I don't have an answer to that part of your question. LOL

Oh yes, my mother used to make them. I am lazy, so I don't make them. I buy them at Traders Joe, ready to eat. All I have to do is warm it up.

yeah they are good I even made them a few times grate up some potatoes, squeeze out some of the water then add an egg and some flour so it sticks together then fry em golden brown in olive oil mmmmmmmm

Yes, I have had lots of potato pancakes in my life, ctry, and I love them. I don't go to much trouble when I make them. I just use leftover mashed potatoes and a little flour. I sometimes like cheese in them. I have seen several different recipes for making them, but I will always take the easy way out whenever possible.

i love them i have to use recipes from cookbooks or online searches i use to eat them all of the time but they were usually made by someone else. them are a good idea for supper tonite

My only contribution to this discussion is owning up that this is the first time I have heard of potato pancake! Yes, it is not an Indian food and is not very commonly heard over here either. But I read all your responses and it sounded so yummy that I am determined to try it out the moment I step home today. Hope I can pull it through with whatever I could gather from all of you.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and keep in mind I'm in a rush so I've not read any of the other replies if this has been brought up)....isnt a "potato pancake" pretty much the same thing as a hash brown patty?

Yes i have made potato pancakes many times.I always make mine from my left over mashed potatoes..I don't know how you fixed yours but i will tell you how i fix mine,and thats how we like them...I take my left over mashes potatoes and add a little chopped up onions and 2 eggs, i add a little flour to help the stick together better .i make a patty and fry them in hot oil...we eat them like that everytime i have left over mashed potatoes.I am sure there is other ways but thats how i do it because thats how my mom done it...How did you make yours? I would like another idea, if you want to share...

My dad used to make these for us when we were kids. I loved them and used to eat the with ketchup. I don't really have a recipe but I know there was flour, potatoes, onion and egg. I think he used mashed potatoes for ours sometimes. It has been a very long time since I have had a potato pancake.

Yes! I have eaten potato pancakes. I like them with sour cream. I have also eaten them topped with applesauce. Did you know they are on the menu at IHOP? (International House of Pancakes). People love them. You can buy the box mixes at the grocery store here. I am a bit lazy, that's what I have done. Still yummy that way too. Don't have a recipe. My grandmother used to make them from scratch. When she passed, so did the recipe. Bon appatite'

We, in our family, love potato pancakes as well. I make them quite often just to munch on or I make them to be eaten with our meal. I like them when we have my home made bean soup and my home made chicken soup. The way I make mine is of course potatoes shredded and soaked in salt. Not too much though. I then add a couple eggs and raw shredded onions and I use potato flour instead of regular wheat flower. I only use a few tablespoons so that it is mostly potatoes, not flour. I fry them very slowly in a frying pan with olive oil. When we eat them we sometimes eat them plain, but other times we put sour cream on them.
