The national dish of Belarusian cuisine has become popular far beyond its borders; pancakes have long taken a place in the cookbook of our housewives. Among the various variations of preparing the dish, the most famous are potato pancakes with mushrooms, cheese and herbs. It is these potato pancake recipes that we will look at step by step in the article, revealing the technology, as well as the important secrets of their preparation.

Recipe for classic potato pancakes

What could be easier than making potato pancakes in a frying pan? Homemade pancakes from raw potatoes are made very quickly.

The classic recipe for making pancakes does not imply the inclusion of any additives such as garlic, mushrooms, herbs and other ingredients that diversify the taste.

We prepare Belarusian pancakes (potato) in butter and serve hot to the table with sour cream or sour cream sauce.

Ingredients

• Sour cream – 1 tbsp. l.;
• Raw potatoes (medium size) – 4 pcs.;
• Salt - to taste;
• Flour – 1 tbsp. l.;
• Butter – 1 tbsp. l.

How to make potato pancakes

1. We grate the potatoes on a grater with large holes, squeeze them, mix them with flour, salt, and sour cream. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
2. Heat the frying pan, throw pieces of butter onto the bottom of the dish, and melt it.
3. Fry the potato pancakes over medium heat until a beautiful golden crust appears. Fry for 5 minutes on both sides, longer if necessary. It is important that the pancakes are baked from the inside, so you should not turn on high heat during the frying process, as you will simply burn the surface of the pancakes, but they may remain raw inside.

Potato pancakes should turn out just like in the picture, just as rosy and appetizing. You can make potato pancakes (pancakes) not only from raw potatoes, but also boiled ones. Make mashed potatoes from boiled potatoes and prepare potato pancakes based on them.

Mashed Potato Pancakes

Making pancakes from boiled potatoes is no more difficult than making pancakes from raw root vegetables.

• First you need to boil 600 g of potatoes in their jackets. Unpeeled potatoes contain more starch, which means that when frying potato pancakes, it will be easier for us to turn them over without damaging the structure of the pancakes themselves.

Attention! Large amounts of starch are harmful to the body.
Therefore, if you make lean pancakes, then peel the potatoes before cooking; the starch in the root vegetable is compensated by 2 tbsp. l. starch powder added to the puree at the stage of kneading the “potato dough”.

• We turn the boiled potatoes into a tender puree, mix it with spices (add salt and ground black pepper to taste), if desired, add a fried onion, beat in a raw egg, mix everything.
• If you are preparing lean potato pancakes, then instead of the egg, add 2 tbsp. l. starch, mix the ingredients, add 2-3 tbsp. l. flour and mix everything again.

• The frying recipe is traditional - fry over moderate heat under a closed lid for at least 5 minutes on each side.

As a result, we should have crispy potato pancakes for the whole family.

Ingredients

Potato pancakes recipe

Wash and peel the potatoes, grate them on a fine grater or grind them in a blender. To prevent the vegetable from browning and to keep it crispy, immediately after grating, immerse it in a container of cold water for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out the mass. Do not pour out the liquid - leave it in a separate bowl and let it settle. Add hot boiled milk and salt to the potatoes, stir. Drain the juice from the liquid, and add the settled starch to the grated potatoes.

Fresh pancakes are a very quick and tasty breakfast option. Add flour and knead the dough. You can add minced meat or finely chopped fried mushrooms. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil. Place a tablespoon of dough and fry the pancakes until golden brown on both sides. Serve with sour cream or gravy. Pancakes are good both as a separate dish and as a side dish for meat or salad.

Step 1: Prepare potato dough.

As I already said, in the classic recipe the potatoes are grated very finely. We will not move away from that.
Therefore, the first thing we need to do is peel the potatoes and rinse them well under running water. Also peel the onions.

Take a bowl, pour in just a little water (so that the potatoes don’t turn black) and use a grater to finely grate them.

Then we transfer it to a colander, thus straining out the excess juice, and pour it back into the bowl, and finely grate the onion on top. Add salt, pepper, wheat flour and egg. Mix thoroughly and you can start frying. Step 2: Prepare potato pancakes. We put over medium heat (this is important!)
Heat the frying pan, pour in vegetable oil and use a spoon to lay out the pancakes. It is necessary to fry on both sides

1-2 minutes each

(until a golden crust appears).

Please note that if the pancakes begin to fry very quickly, then you need to reduce the heat. This is how we bake all the pancakes.

Step 3: Serve potato pancakes.

As soon as the pancakes are ready, place them on napkins so that they absorb all the excess oil. Then transfer them to a serving platter and serve with sour cream and vegetable salad.

Potatoes can also be grated using a food processor.

You can also add a couple of cloves of garlic to the potato dough. Or you can prepare garlic sauce (sour cream + mayonnaise + garlic) and serve it along with pancakes.

Please note that you need to place the pancakes in well-heated oil, otherwise they will become saturated with it and become unpalatable (greasy). And when adding a new portion of oil, it should also be warmed up well.
