Why do some housewives add soda to potato pancakes: not everyone knows about this trick
Not all housewives know that soda can be added to potato pancakes, since this component significantly improves the quality of the dish.
There is no need to worry about the potato pancakes having an unpleasant aftertaste: if you use the powder correctly, the taste of the dish will not be affected.
What functions does soda perform when making potato pancakes?
It is worth noting that using soda allows you to get rid of adding flour. This allows you to serve juicy potato pancakes. Soda also allows you to achieve the desired degree of fluffiness, but does not "clog" the taste, unlike flour. It is important to remember that soda begins to "work" in an acidic environment. Therefore, add a little lemon juice or a spoonful of sour cream to the preparation.
Flour, as we know, can make potato pancakes "rubbery". And soda allows the potatoes to remain tender and tasty.
It is also believed that the introduction of an additional component allows the dish to retain a beautiful golden hue.
However, it is worth considering that a large amount of soda can spoil the potato pancakes. Therefore, add only 1-2 pinches per standard portion of the preparation.
