Homemade potato pancakes instead of store-bought

With my recipe, you can make homemade potato pancakes without using a industrially produced instant mixture. They also taste much better than those from the frozen section of the supermarket, just like the vegan gnocchi.

What’s more, the homemade potato pancakes only contain natural ingredients, just like the vegetable fritters. So you know what’s in your food.

And finally, it’s very easy to make the latkes at home. With this recipe, you can conjure up a delicious lunch in no time at all.

Which potatoes for potato pancakes?

Use floury potato varieties for the potato pancake recipe, just like for the mashed potatoes recipe or the vegan potato dumplings recipe. They contain a lot of starch, which is needed to bind the mixture. This ensures that the latkes remain firm during frying.

How to serve and store

The potato pancakes taste best fresh, immediately after preparation, similar to the chebureki. However, they are also delicious over the next few days.

Just like the draniki or the roasted potatoes, the latkes are suitable both as a side dish and as a main meal for lunch or dinner.

I served them with sour cream. Natural yogurt and various dips also go well with them. You can also serve a vegetable salad with the potato pancakes. Some people eat them sweet with apple sauce.

Keep the homemade latkes well sealed in the fridge. You can then reheat them briefly in the oven or in a pan, just like the potato zrazy with mushrooms.
