Blinis (Potato Pancakes), Mark's image

Mark had to translate his family recipes from their original polish so he could share with me.

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium potatoes, grated
1 medium onion, grated
1 large egg
4 tablespoon(s) flour
1/2 tablespoon(s) powder
1 teaspoon(s) vinegar
3 cup(s) oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Peel and grate the potatoes and onions Mix all other ingredients together Let stand 15 minutes or so to let the baking powder work. Scoop up the mix in a ball about 2 inches round and deep fry. Serve sprinkled with vinegar.
  • Notes: Some folks like their blini flat and pan fried, if so, omit the vinegar and baking powder. But I think the fluffier consistency of the deep fried version is worth the effort. This is a version of what our Jewish neighbors called latke, but they generally prepare them flat. Note: In the Ukraine and Russia, blinis are made from regular wheat flour and the higher class folk served theirs with caviar.
