Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pound potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh chives
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 to 6 tablespoons butter
Sour cream

Steps:

Mix mashed potatoes with cream, eggs, flour, parsley, chives, salt and the pepper to taste.
Heat two tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet. Form two-and-a-half- to three-inch rounds of potato batter in the skillet and fry the pancakes until golden, turning to brown both sides. Keep finished pancakes warm. Continue until all the batter is used, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve at once with sour cream on the side.
