how do you make potatoe pancakes?

Answer 1

The easy way is boiled smashed potatoe or leftover mashed potatoes with a little pancake mix or flour and baking soda, egg, salt and pepper. Shape thick batter into patties and fry in oil, margarine or butter.

Answer 2

4 large potatoes
1 yellow onion
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
ground black pepper to taste
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS
Finely grate potatoes with onion into a large bowl. Drain off any excess liquid.
Mix in egg, salt, and black pepper. Add enough flour to make mixture thick, about 2 to 4 tablespoons all together.
Turn oven to low, about 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Heat 1/4 inch oil in the bottom of a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Drop two or three 1/4 cup mounds into hot oil, and flatten to make 1/2 inch thick pancakes. Fry, turning once, until golden brown. Transfer to paper towel lined plates to drain, and keep warm in low oven until serving time. Repeat until all potato mixture is used.
Editor's Note

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.


Good Luck!

Where I am from all I have ever seen my mom and mother in law have fixed tata cakes is to use the left over creamed/mashed potato's...use a egg, and some flour, mix up really well.

Put some oil in fry pan on med heat...allow to get hot and then drop tata mixture by heaping spoonfuls in the oil, smooth around to level it out and just fry em up.

Answer 7

I use mashed potatoes, a bowl full. I put in one egg, chopped onions, to taste, and about two - three tablespoons flour (either self rising or all purpose). Add salt and pepper. Mix together. If you need to, add a little more flour if too wet. Form into small /medium size patties. Fry in small amount of oil until browned, flip and brown on other side.

Don't do it the easy way, Don't use mashed potato's, those are just fried mashed potato's.
