Great Grandmother's Potato Pancakes

By: Blair Lonergan from The Seasoned Mom
Great Grandmothers Potato Pancakes

"My Polish Great Grandmother's Potato Pancakes recipe is a family favorite comfort food! Serve the fried pancakes with sour cream or applesauce for a light dinner, or offer them as an easy side dish alongside your favorite entrée. It's a simple, old-fashioned dish that stands the test of time! Most European cultures have their own potato pancakes recipe that has been enjoyed for generations. Whether you're German, Irish, Polish or Russian, it's very likely that these shallow-fried pancakes of grated potato, flour or matzo meal, and a binder such as egg or applesauce are a part of your family's heritage. This particular version comes from my Polish great grandmother. My grandmother was the first to actually write down the potato pancakes recipe, which she prepared for our family every time she came to visit. "
