The traditional set of ingredients for potato pancakes is potatoes, flour, eggs and salt.
But you can be sure that if you add a couple more products to the ones listed, the dish will end up being even tastier.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms and potatoes are a classic combination, so why not use it when making potato pancakes? If you decide to add champignons to the dish, they should be cut into thin slices and added to the grated potatoes.
If you decide to use wild mushrooms, you should first fry them until done and only then add them to the potatoes. You can use any mushrooms you like – from oyster mushrooms and birch boletes to aspen mushrooms, porcini mushrooms and even honey mushrooms.
Cheese
Another popular ingredient that can be added to potato pancakes is cheese.
You can use almost any kind of cheese you like, but hard cheeses like Parmesan, Cheddar, or Mozzarella are considered the most suitable options. Grate the cheese of your choice on a coarse grater and add to the grated potatoes.
Vegetables
It would also be a great idea to add some vegetables to the pancakes to make them healthier and add variety to their taste.
You can choose grated carrots, zucchini, pumpkin, eggplant or bell peppers for this and add them to the potatoes.
