Many housewives add flour when preparing potato pancakes, and this is very much in vain.
Professional chefs strongly recommend avoiding this ingredient.
Why you shouldn't add flour to potato pancakes
Because of the flour, the potato pancakes turn out “rubbery” and don’t cook well in the middle.
Experienced cooks advise adding only onions and eggs to potato pancakes. One egg is enough.
To prevent the potatoes from turning dark, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream.
It makes sense to add flour only if you are preparing a lot of potato pancakes and you want them to sit for a little longer (two to three tablespoons of flour per one and a half kilograms of potatoes).
