Surely many housewives have sometimes had doubts about the color of potato pancakes: sometimes it is far from ideal.
The color of perfectly cooked potato pancakes should be impeccable.
If instead you see dark potato pancakes, then some shortcomings were made during the cooking process.
How to cook potato pancakes correctly so that they don’t turn dark?
Water
It is important to remember that after cleaning, each tuber is placed in a container with water. If this is not done, the potato itself will become dark, which will negatively affect the quality of the potato pancakes.
The required amount of onions
This vegetable is one of the essential components of ideal potato pancakes, but not everyone knows the exact proportions. Remember that a large onion is taken per kilogram of potatoes.
Sour cream
If you want golden potato pancakes instead of dark grey ones, don’t forget to add two spoons of medium fat sour cream to the mixture.
Lemon
If you don't want to use a fermented milk product, try adding a little lemon juice instead. The effect will be identical.
