These potato pancakes from Grandma's recipe are made with finely grated potatoes, egg, and all-purpose flour. Sour cream mixed directly into the batter makes them tender. The batter is spread into pancakes with a spoon in hot oil and fried on both sides until golden.

In 20 minutes, you have lunch or dinner for two. Serve them right away while they are crisp.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Peel, wash, and finely grate the potatoes. Add the egg and flour, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the sour cream and mix everything thoroughly again.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Spoon the batter into the hot oil to form small pancakes and fry on both sides until golden.
Serve with sour cream or milk.

Tip: Flip the pancakes only once—the soft sour cream batter can break and tear if flipped repeatedly.
