POTATO PANCAKES POLISH



Potato Pancakes Polish image

These can be served with sour cream or apple sauce. As a side or appetizer. My Mom made them in a blender but I think grating them is more time consuming but you'll get a better texture. I'm posting these for world tour and because my DH's requesting them!

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES W/SOUR CREAM OR APPLE SAUCE



Polish potato pancakes w/sour cream or apple sauce image

My grandmother taught me how to make these. I have to make extra cause I find myself eating them as I'm cooking them. The key to crispy edges is to make sure you drain the excess water from the potato and onion mixture. It takes a bit of work if you are using a regular hand grater but if your food processor or blender has...

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES



Polish Potato Pancakes image

I've tried a lot of ways to make potato pancakes, but finally settled on this recipe with a twist that I think gives them a zestier flavor.

Provided by ezgourmand

Categories     Low Protein

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 @ 4" pancakes, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 medium potatoes (about 2 1/2 cups pureed)
1 medium onion (about 1 cup chopped)
1 1/2 cups cabbage, shredded
3 garlic cloves, minced (or crushed)
1 egg
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Sauté onions, cabbage and garlic until soft.
  • Peel and fine-grate potatoes, or dice and use a blender. The potatoes need to be a real purée. It's ok to add water to blend, as later you MUST put the potatoes into a fine mesh strainer and let the water seep out.
  • After 2 or 3 strainings to remove excess water (takes 30 minutes or so), put potato "mud" into a bowl and add egg, salt, pepper, and flour and mix well.
  • Add sautéed onion-cabbage mixture to potatoes, mixing well.
  • Heat thin layer of oil in electric frypan at 300° F, drop large spoonfuls of mixture into pan and smooth out to a thin pancake about 3-4" in diameter.
  • Cook about 5-7 minutes a side until nicely browned and crisp.
  • Place on a paper towel lined plate, keeping warm as you do other batches.
  • Serve with sour cream.

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Polish Potato Pancakes Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Tufgrlz

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium peeled and finely grated potatoes
1 medium finely grated onion
2 large eggs
salt and pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1.NOTE: Keep potatoes covered in water to keep them from turning brown - it even works overnight! Squeeze grated potatoes in paper towels to drain excess moisture. Mix potatoes, onion, eggs, salt, and pepper. Add flour bit by bit, using enough flour to bind the mixture together but leaving it still somewhat thin. In a large, heavy skillet set over medium-high heat, add enough vegetable oil to come to a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat until hot, but not smoking. Drop tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into skillet and spread out to a 3-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Fry until brown on the bottom (don't turn until the pancake is brown or it will stick), about 3 to 5 minutes, reducing the heat to medium, if needed, to prevent burning. Turn the pancake and fry the other side 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Serve with granulated sugar or sour cream.

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES RECIPE - PLACKI KARTOFLANE OR ZIEMNIACZANE



Polish Potato Pancakes Recipe - Placki Kartoflane or Ziemniaczane image

When I was little, my mother made placki kartoflane, or placki ziemniaczane, on meatless days. They were thin and crispy and sprinkled with granulated sugar. Since then, I've come to love Jewish latkes infused with onion or garlic and served with sour cream and applesauce, and the puffy Czech and Bohemian varieties. Potato pancakes make great sides or they can stand alone. Although the flavor and texture will be different, you can really save time by using thawed and drained frozen hash browns. Just mix them with the remaining ingredients and eliminate the food processor.

2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks that will fit in a food processor tube
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Insert the grating disk into a food processor. Send potato chunks down shoot.
  • While the processor is running, send the eggs, flour and salt down the shoot. Process until well combined. Check out this QUICK TIP to keep your grated potatoes from turning dark.
  • In a large, heavy skillet set over medium-high heat, add enough vegetable shortening to come to a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat until hot, but not smoking.
  • Drop tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into skillet and spread out to a 3-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Fry until brown on the bottom (don't turn until the pancake is brown or it will stick), about 3 to 5 minutes, reducing the heat to medium, if needed, to prevent burning.
  • Turn the pancake and fry the other side 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve with granulated sugar or applesauce and sour cream. Note: Add 2 tablespoons grated onion and/or 1 grated garlic clove to the batter, and/or 2 tablespoons fried, chopped bacon, if desired.

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES



Polish Potato Pancakes image

Potato pancakes don't have to be greasy... or hard to make. My recipe is easy thanks to my food processor but you can always grate the potatoes and onion by hand. The secret is to drain off the potato juice but keep the starch. Serve these Polish Placki Kartoflane with a little light sour cream or do like my mother did and slice up the leftover ones and cook into scrambled eggs for breakfast. - Jenny Jones

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large russet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup onion (about 1/2 of a small onion)
1 egg
1 Tablespoon flour (whole wheat or all-purpose)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
3 teaspoons oil, divided, for frying (I use expeller-pressed, organic canola)

Steps:

  • Place peeled & chopped potatoes and onion into a food processor. Process for about 30 seconds until lumps are gone.
  • Place in a fine-mesh colander over a bowl and let drain for 5 minutes or longer.
  • Carefully pour off the drained liquid but keep the white starch that's settled on the bottom.
  • To the starch, add the drained potato/onion mixture, egg, flour, salt, & pepper.
  • In a cast iron skillet, heat 1/2 teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Spoon 1/4 cup mounds into pan, flattening each one to an even thickness.
  • Cook about 3 minutes per side, adding 1/2 teaspoon oil as needed. (You can keep them warm in a 200° oven on a paper towel-lined pan.)
