The surprising fact is that there is constant controversy surrounding such a simple dish as potato pancakes.
Even chefs can't "agree" on how to prepare this potato treat.
If we are talking about experienced housewives, then almost each one has her own personal recipe, notes Yulia Arkhipova , an expert on cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
What tricks do you need to know if you want to make the potato pancakes of your dreams?
Choose the right side of the grater
The quality of the potato pancakes will depend on this: the finer you grate the potatoes, the tastier the dish will be in the end. Some people use a meat grinder for this purpose, but this is not very productive.
Don't forget about onions and sour cream
Some people think that onions should be fried and only then added to the mixture. This is a smart decision that will make the treat a little more flavorful.
But you can also add fresh onions.
Also, don’t forget about two spoons of sour cream, which will provide a beautiful shade to the dish.
Salo
But many forget about this secret, although potato pancakes are a classic village cuisine. If you want to make them incredibly tasty and high-quality, then fry them in melted lard.
