Many gourmets love potato pancakes, because the golden potato “cakes” have a bright and memorable taste.
However, the dish can be made even more appetizing.
The result will be potato pancakes, a plate of which you can safely put on the festive table.
How can you achieve such a significant improvement in the taste of pancakes?
The answer is simple: you just need to put the potato-egg-flour “cakes” in the oven.
First option
Professional chefs not only fry potato pancakes in a frying pan, but also bake them in the oven.
The first cooking option involves sending potato pancakes into the oven, which have already been lightly fried in butter in a frying pan.
In other words, potato pancakes need to be “cooked” in a preheated oven for 5-10 minutes to get the perfect crust and maintain the tenderness inside the dish.
Second option
There is another way to heat-treat potato mass. It does not involve using a frying pan at all.
Raw potato pancakes should be immediately placed on a baking sheet, which has been previously covered with parchment paper greased with vegetable oil.
The metal sheet should be placed in the oven. The baking process should last 25 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.
True, 15 minutes may be enough. Or it may take half an hour. The duration depends on the thickness of the pancakes and the features of the oven. Therefore, you need to monitor the state of the dish.
If you cook potato pancakes only in the oven, the cook will get two advantages at once. Firstly, the dish will turn out incredibly appetizing. Secondly, you won’t have to fiddle with a frying pan and constantly “shooting” oil.
