Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 lb potatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1 c rye flour
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
2 egg whites, beaten until frothy

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the potatoes in their jackets, in a pot of boiling water, until just tender. Drain and cool slightly.
  • 2. Peel potatoes, add salt and mash while warm.
  • 3. Work the flours into the mashed potatoes, a little at a time with egg whites. Knead the dough well. (You may have to use more or less flour).
  • 4. Divide dough into eight pieces and roll each piece on a lightly floured board into a thin round cake.
  • 5. Cook on both sides on a greased griddle over medium-low heat until done. Watch them closely to keep them from burning.
  • 6. Serve with toppings of your choice.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • Shred the potatoes by hand using a box grater or food processor fitted with a shredding disc. This will give you the best results.
  • Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the shredded potatoes. This will help the pancakes to be crispy.
  • Add a little flour to the shredded potatoes to help bind them together. Too much flour will make the pancakes tough, so use it sparingly.
  • Season the potato mixture with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet.
  • Flatten the potato pancakes with a spatula and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the potato pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or bacon.
