One problem with how this recipe is written: It states in a food processor grate potatoes and onion, it would be more helpful to state as: grate potatoes and chop onion fine. I was concerned with the recipe not being too dry so I used 5 eggs and added 1/2 cup of oil, I beat eggs & oil till foamy, than I added pancake mix, started mixer & added onions, potatoes, salt pepper and continued mixing until well incorporated. Than turned out onto a sizzling griddle, spread potatoes out with mixture, turned when bubbly, these turned out like heaven, we used sour cream and/or chunky applesauce with cinnamon and/or real maple syrup. I even doubled this recipe and it turned out with excellent results, for doubling I used 10 eggs and 1 cup oil. I never thought about using pancake mix! What a great thought, thanks for submitting this recipe.

Just made these tonight and they came out great! Ive never had potato pancakes before. I cut recipe to 4 servings. I used 3 medium potatoes (next time i think i will use 4) and shredded with hand grater and just chopped onion finely. Served with sour cream. Yum!

I scaled this recipe down a little since it was just my husband and I. I had never had potato pancakes before - but my husband wanted them so I made them and I was pleasantly surprised. These are really good! I did add more salt and pepper then called for.. and I think that I may have used a little more onion too. I think there is a lot that you can do with this recipe to accommodate it to your tastes .. I will definitely make them again but I may add some diced jalapenos to spice it up just a little and I may add a little grated cheddar too :-)

I had about a pound of some flavorful leftover garlic mashed potatoes to use so I mixed it with 2 eggs and 1.5 cups of pancake mix and pepper. It was pretty sticky but molded into pancakes well enough with oiled hands. Drizzled olive oil into pans to cook until nicely browned and served with shredded cheddar and salsa. These were pretty good.

I halved the recipe and used 2 eggs. Made plenty for family of 4 and had leftovers. Will try to make them thinner next time....they were a little thick and therefore a little dense the first time but taste was still good.
