These were the best potato pancakes I've ever had. They were PERFECT, and the recipe was super easy. I only had 3 potatoes, and didn't measure the flour - just added enough to thicken the batter a bit. But they came out wonderful. We ate them with sour cream or apple sauce.

Very easy and fast. Definately a family favorite, even my 2 year old loves them! I like to add dill and use 2 eggs instead of 1.

This is a very nice recipe. I followed the directions and drained the mixture well. The pancakes were a little salty for MY taste but no one else complained! I'll certainly make them again but reduce the salt slightly.

Great traditional recipe. I made them for my son for dinner today along with homemade applesauce, bacon, and homemade dinner rolls. We like lots of onion, so I increased the onion. Green onion would be good. I used crisco because I read that it fries better, but I think I'll use the canola next time. For those of you who serve this with applesauce; I can't stres enough how much better with homemade, and applesauce is SO easy to make. Your kids will love you for it!

Simple and tasty. My son loved them & can't wait to have them again. My Polish family had them alot, but they're not exactly like those that were great. But they're about as close as I've made and very tasty.

These are delicious and simple to make. Be sure to drain well before cooking, as other reviewers have mentioned. I grew up eating potato pancakes with both sour cream and applesauce; both complement this dish spectacularly.

Very delicious and easy! For a twist serve this with a small amount of dark soy sauce for dipping -- out of this world!

I subbed sweet potatoes and used half the amount of onion. I really enjoyed the flavor, however the chunky texture of the yellow onion didn't seem right. In the future I will replace the yellow onion with minced green onion. Still a delicious recipe

Great recipe. I prefer the texture and taste if I first soak potatoe in water to remove the starch, then squeeze it in a towel to get rid of the excess liquid. Also great with some apple shredded directly into the mix.

I used this as a breakfast hashbrown recipe and it turned out great! Holds together nicely with some cheddar cheese on top. I also added green onions and some garlic salt. I think fresh parsley might also be good. Don't be married to the amounts of ingredients. Experiment and post!

Unfortunately my slicer created small fries instead of the required grated potatos. This resulted in the problem of potato/onion not sticking together very well, (used 5 Tbsp of flour). Used Canola oil and regardless - they tasted great! Used sour cream on them. Will do them again - with more onion.

My first time making potato pancakes - this was a great and simple recipe. Cooked in bacon grease as well - the flavor was outstanding! I will, however, use my Kitchen Aid shredder to shred the potatoes and onion in the future. We had with sour cream and salt and was great also tried the maple syrup on them and they were really good. I really enjoy those recipes that seem to have more of an 'old time' feel to them - I can see someone making these while in the bush at an old mining camp.

Mmmm WONDERFUL! I used about 4 tablespoons of flour though b/c my potatoes were fairly large, and added some seasoned salt and nutmeg. Also added some chopped green pepper! YUM!!!
