In this case, you will have to add a small amount of flour. It should be added with caution, since an excess of the component will make the dish rubbery.

Egg

Many housewives do not want to add egg to potato pancakes, as this component is not always found in the classic recipe. However, sometimes the situation is hopeless: for example, you bought a clearly unsuitable variety of potato for this dish.
