Polish Potato Pancake Recipes?

Question

My neighbor used to make potato pancakes. I remember an iron skillet and some kind of shortening (crisco?). Any recpes out there? Thanks

Answer 1

Shred the potatoes on a grater add onion to taste mix one egg and some sifted flour to bind. You can use shortening or butter or even veg oil. Key is to get cast iron skillet very hot. Mold potato into pancakes and fry. Keep warm in oven
serve with applesauce or sour creme

Answer 2

Polish Pancakes (Kartoflane Placki)

2 cups grated potatoes
2 eggs, well beaten
1 T flour
1/2 t salt
Pinch of pepper

Grate large potatoes and drain off excess juice. Measure the pulp
and add remaining ingredients. Beat well. Heat 4 tablespoons
shortening in a skillet. Drop in batter by tablespoonful, spread
thinly and fry to a deep brown on each side. Vegetable, meat, or
chicken fat will give much crisper pancakes than butter. A
teaspoonful of grated onion adds flavor.

Answer 3

2 cups mashed potatoes
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons green onion
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter

In a medium bowl, mix together potatoes, beaten egg, salt, and cheese. Melt butter on a large griddle at medium heat. Drop potato mixture onto griddle 1/4 cup at a time. Flatten with a spatula to 1/2 inch thick. Fry approximately 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Serve hot.

Answer 4

I remember my polish grandmother making potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes, with one or two whole eggs added to help keep the eggs together when they were fried.

Answer 5

That recipe answer looks good. If you want something faster and easier, go to the ethnic food section of any supermarket and you will find at least one mix for potato pancakes. Personally, I'd go with the recipe!
