Potatoes are the fourth largest crop in the World, and they came from Latino America.( Wikipedia) As a result, they were introduced to Europe in the 15th. Century.

Therefore, we see baked and fried or boiled; Also, mashed potatoes or improvisation with potato pancakes: simple fried potato pancakes.

What makes these fried potato crepes so delicious?
First: spices, salt.

Also, when frying them, they become crunchy outside and wonderfully tasty and soft inside though.
And: quick preparation (15-20 min.)
Third: grilling in a skillet (5- 7 min.)
Then, use a medium-size bowl.
Also:
A hand iron grinder
Or electric vegetable grinder (even better)
The first part of brainstorming with flat cakes
I like to add vegetables like zucchini, carrots and pumpkin or squash, even meat….or just go with the simple original way. It is up to you because you are the queen of your thoughts!. However, I decided to add vegetables: just grained them up and mix them with grained potatoes. When I choose to use meat, combine beef, or pork. That makes the meat softer. Of cause, you can use veal, goat, etc.
The second part of improvisation with potato crepes
Also, drizzles of something creamy ( sour cream) or crunchy (bacon) or whatever you can think of: chopped dill or parsley and green onions. Also, I use sour cream and onion/bacon dressing or go with just a tablespoon of sour cream.
Anyway, you all choose to prepare potato pancakes you all will enjoy. Frying potato pancakes – takes less time to prepare. Adding vegetables or even meat takes longer, but you REALLY enjoy the dish. Everything is up to you! I believe potato pancakes will become the most wanted dish on your dinner table!
Simple improvisation with fried potato pancakes
Author: Jidrone Paliskis
Prep time: 10 min. (with an electric grinder)
Fry time: 5 – 8 min
Total time: 15 – 25 min.

Ingredients:
Potatoes: 5 – 6 large (russet)
Onion: 1 medium size ( yellow or sweet)
eggs: 2 large or 3 medium
And:
flour: 1 tablespoon
garlic: 1 clove, minced
salt: a pinch
Also, we need for a flat cake:
oil: 1 cup ( sunflower, olive, canola, vegetable or anyone)
pepper (optional): pinch
vegetables ( optional): zucchini, squash or pumpkin also, carrots.
meat ( optional): beef, pork or veal – ground/ combination
You need:
medium-size bowl and large size skillet, the biggest spoon you all have or small size of a ladle.
For dressing:

onion: 1 medium
and
bacon: 10 slices ( or less)
sour cream: 2-3 tablespoons
and/or
dill or parsley, green onions ( optional)
Instruction for preparing fried pancakes
First, peel potatoes, wash them good and using a grinder ( hand or electric) grate them in the bowl.
Second, dice onion and mince garlic. Then, beat eggs
In addition, add onions, garlic, beaten eggs, and flour, salt and mix well
Tip: if you want to add vegetables, it is a perfect time to do so, just grate them and mix everything together.
The workflow of fried flat cakes
Take a big skillet and pour 0.5 cup of vegetable oil ( or any kind is OK) and heat for 30 sec. to 1 min. Now, the fun part starts: take the biggest spoon you have at home or a small size ladle. Grab some potato batter with the ladle (or spoon) and pour it into the skillet. After that, I always lower the heat to medium. You need to lower the heat too(otherwise pancakes will burn). Also, add vegetable oil if need. Fry one side ( like pancakes) and when the side becomes a nice golden brown color (but not too dark) just turn over. Fry till golden brown color and VOILA! YOU are DONE!
Tip: add some more oil to the skillet if you need to.
Dressing for pancakes:
Mix chopped onion and cut bacon slices (10). Fry on the skillet. Then, when almost done, just add sour cream and fry together around one minute. For the creativity, you can sprinkle chopped dill, parsley and/or green onions, sour cream, and even little pieces of salmon on the top.
Brainstorming with fried potato pancakes with meat
If y’all decide to add the meat it is a little more work you need to do.
First, you need to prepare the meat:
0.5 LB.of beef
0.5 LB, of pork
0.5 cup of milk
Simple brainstorming with fried potato pancakes with sour cream

Pinch of seasoning
Pinch of salt and pepper
Mix all together very well.
Tip:
If y’all don’t want to add milk also, you can use beef bullion. I put a spoon of bouillon powder to the hot water (0.5 cup ) and mix together.
Next:
Follow instructions from 1 to 4. In the skillet with hot oil pour potatoes batter and start frying one side.
Then:
Take a little ball of meat and smash it ( make a little pancake). Then, put on the top of frying potatoes batter. Next, cover a skillet and lower the heat. Then, when you see the meat change the color ( become a little bit brown) pour potatoes batter on the top of meat. Cover a skillet and fry again for a little bit more. After that, flip on the other side and fry until golden brown. And… ALL DONE! Finally, you just fried potato-meat crepes! What a brainstorming fried potato pancake recipe!
Put on the plate and sprinkle chopped dill or parsley, green onions. Or, just go with chopped and fried onion/bacon dressing. In addition, pour sour cream on the side. Enjoy!
VOILA! BON APPETIT!

Hi Jidrone,
I believe I like this recipe and will try it soon. I t looks tasty.
Omg! So I have tried making these a few times before and never had the right recipe, I didn’t know it was such a delicatesy, I’m really going to try your recipe now!!
I love pancakes, especially the ones with eggs. The fried ones here seem to be a bit heavy. Do you know about their nutrition data?
It’s been a long while since I made potato pancakes. I’m definitely going to change that real soon. I never thought of adding chicken to them though. I typically add green onions and pico de gallo or jalapenos. Thanks!
