Polish potato pancakes, known as "placki ziemniaczane" in Polish, are a traditional Polish dish made from grated potatoes, flour, eggs, and seasonings.
The grated potatoes are mixed with eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and sometimes grated onion. The mixture is then fried in oil or butter until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and tender on the inside.
They are typically served hot with sour cream, applesauce, or savory toppings like goulash or sautéed mushrooms.
Polish potato pancakes are a popular comfort food in Poland and are enjoyed as a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner option.
Ingredients:
- 400g potatoes
- 1 egg
- 25g flour
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Oil, for frying
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is important to ensure crispy pancakes.
2. Mix the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, beaten egg, flour, salt, and pepper.
- Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Fry the Pancakes:
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form pancakes.
- Fry the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a spatula to flip the pancakes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
4. Serve:
- Transfer the cooked potato pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
- Serve the potato pancakes hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, applesauce, or chopped fresh herbs.
