This is a delicious Recipe which my late father left to me. Everyone raves about this recipe, and it is sooooo...easy. Wonderful side dish with pork chops.

Just tried this recipe for the first time. I have never found a potato pancake recipe that I liked 'til this one! It's excellent! My "picky eaters" ate all I made and asked for more. Thank you. Read More

This recipe was very dry and gluey. Not even my husband would eat them and he likes everything. Read More

I gave this a 4 rating because they turned out dry and floury. I think with about 1 cup less flour this recipe will be a 5 star for me! They had a good flavor sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Read More

These potato pancakes are so good! Make sure to use the whole batter and not save any for later. My unused batter turned black after a few hours in the fridge. Read More

This is excellent. However it could use a little more salt but that's just my opinion. Sour cream goes great with it! Read More
