Making - Cooking Potato Pancakes

  1. Heat a frying pan / girdle or a nonstick pan / tava. Keep the heat medium.
  2. Add a tsp of oil and spread it on the pan.
  3. Pour a big ladle ful of batter on the heated pan. Spread into a thick circle. Do not make it too thin. The size and thickness will depend on your liking and the size of your pan.
  4. Cook for about 2 minutes of till it is golden brown.
  5. Turn and cook the other side the same way.

Serve hot with your choice of fillings and accompaniment such as tomato ketchup, jam, marmelade, chutney, vegetable curry, your favorite relish etc. I had it with coconut chutney and it tasted wonderful.

For the jewish chanukah, potato latkes are served with applesauce, powdered sugar or sour cream.

Tips:
  1. You may grate potatoes by hand using a grater or use the grater in food processor.
  2. The batter should not be too thin.
  3. If you like softer pancakes, spread the batter in a thicker and smaller round. You may make 4-5 at a time depending on the size of your frying pan / tava.
  4. For crisp pancakes, you can spread a little thinner circle.
  5. If egg is added, no need to add that pinch of soda.
  6. Mix and Make the pancake immedietly after the potatoes are grated. They change color, become black after some time. Put them in cold water as soon as they are grated. squeeze the potatoes well before using for pancakes.
