Classic Potato Pancakes - How to make Potato Pancakes - Potato Latke Recipe

Welcome back to the Wolf Pit today .

I'm making potato pancakes crispy on the outside , tender and creamy in the middle .

These are real easy to make and very delicious .

So let's get started .

You guys know me , I'm lazy .

So I'm gonna be using a bag of already shredded potatoes .

If you want to shred your own or better yet use leftover mashed potatoes .

That'll be even better to the shredded potatoes .

I'm gonna add two large whole eggs .

You can find a full printable copy of this recipe and many more at the Wolf Pit dot com .

Now I'm gonna add one medium yellow onion that I've graded up .

I know what you're thinking and you're right .

He took the time to grate the onion but used bag shredded potatoes .

He really is lazy .

Trust me , people .

If they had grated onions in a bag , I would even use them too .

And now I'm gonna season with salt and pepper and finally some all purpose flour to hold everything together .

Now get your hands in here and give it a good mix and like I always say , when you mix with your hands , it makes the food taste better in a medium skillet over medium heat .

I'm gonna add olive oil and a little butter .

Mix it around until the butter's melted .

And now I add a quarter cup of the potato mixer and then press it down into a nice even layer .

Or you can spank it like I did like it did something wrong .

Why I do the things I do .

I don't know .

Now let the potato pancake pan fry for 4 to 5 minutes or until it's nice and golden brown .

Then give it a flip and let it go for 4 to 5 more minutes .

Once they're golden brown on both sides , place them on a cookie sheet into a 250 degree oven to stay warm while you cook the rest .

Now let's go through the cooking process one more time real quick .

A little bit of oil , a little bit of butter , mix it around to melt the butter .

A quarter cup of potatoes , press them down nice and flat or you can spank them like I did .

Why , I don't know , let it go 4 to 5 minutes or until it's nice and brown .

Flip it over and let it go for 4 to 5 more minutes and spank it one more time just for good measure .

And there you have it crispy on the outside , moist and creamy on the inside potato pancakes .

Now you can serve these as is and they'll be very delicious .

Or you can serve them with apple sauce and , or sour cream and they'll be even better .

Thank you all very much for watching .

I hope you give these a try .
