However, there is a simple way to help you choose the right potato: just pay attention to the color of the skin. For potato pancakes, you should take a vegetable with a yellow color.

Vegetable order

Everyone knows that potato pancakes are based on two ingredients: potatoes and onions. Therefore, the onion should be chopped first, and it is recommended to use a grater.

When chopping potatoes, mix them with onions right away. In this case, the potato pancakes will turn out golden.

Supplements

Sometimes secret additives can help protect against possible color change. The best options may be lemon juice and regular sour cream.
