To ensure that your pancakes come out consistently, fry them in a metal frying pan or a non-stick frying pan with low sides. Add more eggs to the dough, so the pancakes will be stronger and tastier.

Potato with kefir

Potato pancakes are excellently made with kefir or fermented baked milk. Blend raw potatoes together with onions until smooth in a blender, add to pancake dough and brew with boiling water. We bake as usual. The result is very excellent hole-in-one pancakes with a potato flavor, fluffy, soft, and tender. Serve with sour cream and herbs - a hearty, wonderful dish!

In Finnish

In Finland, frisky pancakes are called Pannukakku. Just out of curiosity, what will happen, we’ll bake this very Pannukakka, and in Russian, just pancakes in the oven, if there’s absolutely no time. First we bake according to the traditional recipe, then from mashed potatoes. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes. until beautifully crisped and grease with butter.

A very tasty Finnish dish! Such pancakes can be stuffed with curd cream and other various innards. Roll the pancakes into a tube, cut into portions and serve with fragrant tea or coffee. A very pleasant Sunday breakfast!

In this version, kneading the dough is easier than usual! We put all the ingredients in a huge cup, add grated hard cheese and green onions. Mix everything thoroughly and bake potato pancakes with additives in a hot frying pan. The results are good pancakes with a cheesy taste and smell. We serve unique pancakes on a beautiful platter with milk sauces. They are so tasty that they won’t stay on the table for long. Have time to try it!

With minced meat

Unless you're a vegan or a vegetable eater, you literally love empanadas. This is also already a classic, so the first thing that comes to mind when the question of stuffing pancakes arises is to bribe delicious minced meat. Mix the meat with herbs and fry with onions. I advise you to add fragrant spices for pasties to the minced meat, this will make the taste of the inside brighter, sharper, more original. Serve ready-made pancakes with sour cream sauce or horseradish appetizer. Delicious, very tasty!

From raw potatoes

We call pancakes made from raw potatoes “Draniki” and bake them small to make it easier to bake and eat. But if you try, get used to it and figure out the rules of production, you can perfectly bake delicious pancakes from raw potatoes. They have a completely unusual appearance, they are plump, slightly smaller in size, gray and with a crispy crust.

Naturally, such pancakes are not suitable for stuffing, but they will literally be tasty and everyone will like them. After grating the potatoes, I advise you to immediately drain the juice and add more eggs so that the pancakes do not tear and turn over perfectly. I rarely bake pancakes from raw potatoes, but if I still decide to cook them, then my family’s joy knows no bounds!

Benefits for the body

Potato pancakes are unusually tasty and cook quickly. This is an economical dish, very appetizing and satisfying. Let's figure out together why it is useful.

Useful tips

Thoroughly wash and peel the potatoes before cooking. When making purees, it is better to use an immersion blender so that there are no lumps in the pancake batter later.
Potato pancakes are very tender and easy to tear. Therefore, when baking, do not distribute the dough over the entire surface of the pan. Make the size much smaller, so it will be more convenient to twist them.
You don’t need to add milk to the dough for potato pancakes; they are excellent when boiled. We boiled the potatoes, drained the broth, and later diluted the dough with it.
Potato pancakes are completely unsweetened, so if you bake them large and thin, be sure to stuff several of them: minced meat, chicken, fish, eggs, vegetables or mushrooms. A dish with such interior is no longer a snack, but a real hearty meal!
