Potato pancakes with herbs
Potato pancakes with herbs are a dish known and loved by many. Surely, every housewife prepares it in her own way.
It is important that the potato pancakes come out with a crispy crust on the outside, fried and juicy on the inside. For this, use simple culinary techniques.
They got their name from the method of preparing potatoes, which are grated (scraped). It's best to use a grater with fine holes (with teeth), so that excess moisture is released from the potato pulp.
To the raw potato mass, add flour, which is needed only a little to bind the dough. For greater porosity of the finished dish, replace half of the flour with starch.
Use only the egg yolk, as the protein tightens the dough and makes it coarse.
Potato pancakes can be made with various fillings: mushrooms, cheese, meat. Such dishes will be appropriate on a festive table. Add spices, chopped smoked meats and ham to the mince.
Potato pancakes with herbs are traditionally served with sour cream, and for piquancy, add a spoonful of table horseradish or a dash of mustard to it.
A garnish of potato pancakes goes perfectly with boiled or baked meat, fish. Satisfying flatbreads are a nice snack during a lunch break or can be taken on the road.
