Typically, the base for potato pancakes consists of grated potatoes, onions, flour and salt.

Sometimes a raw egg is also used as an ingredient.

But the dairy component seriously improves the dish. This was reported by the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova .

In addition, thanks to milk, the potato pancakes will turn out very beautiful. They will be golden and brown. At the same time, the crust will be moderately crispy.

And this additional ingredient will make potato pancakes incredibly tender and juicy.

Thus, everything speaks in favor of adding milk to the base for potato pancakes.

But there is an important point that must not be forgotten: the volume of white drink used should be moderate.

Excess of the additive will spoil the consistency of the dish. One or two tablespoons of milk will be enough for three potatoes.

Earlier, gourmets were told what kind of onion should be added to potato pancakes - raw or fried.
