POTATO PANCAKES (QUICK VERSION)
Preparing traditional potato pancakes can be a time consuming process....so you'll really relish this recipe. That's because there's no need to grate potatoes. By using frozen hash browns(or even quicker to use refrigerated shredded hash browns), these "spud-tacular" palate-pleasing pancakes are ready in a hurry! Recipe from TOH. I sometimes add some cheddar cheese in with the mixture.

POTATO PANCAKES WITH PICKLE JUICE
This is a recipe from my father-in-law who taught it to me to feed his son when they visited from Minnesota. I think it's German or Norwegian in origin. I often make this with thin pork chops or side pork. Add green beans and/or applesauce for sides.

Steps:
- Grate the potatoes into a basin of cold water, using the grating surface with large holes. (Do not grate them, however, unless you are ready to cook the potatoes.) Before cooking, drain the potatoes in a strainer.
- Peel the onion and grate it on the same grating surface. There should be about 1/2 cup. Add the onion to the potatoes in the strainer and blend well. With a rubber spatula or your hands, push down on the potato-onion mixture to extract liquid. Put the mixture in a mixing bowl and add salt.
- To prepare these pancakes it is best to use 2 or more 6-inch or 7-inch nonstick frying pans.
- Heat about 1 tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet and add 3/4 cup of the potato-onion mixture. Flatten the potato mixture and sprinkle lightly with pepper. Cook about 3 minutes until the ''cake'' is browned on the bottom. Flip the cake, trying not to break up the shape. Flip the cake several times as it cooks so that it cooks through, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. Slide the cake out onto a flat surface.
- Add 1 more tablespoon of oil to the skillet and add another batch of the potato mixture, cooking it as before. Continue cooking the cakes, adding more oil as necessary, until all the mixture is used.

Steps:
- If you've got potatoes not mash, cook them in boiling water until tender. Drain well and press through a potato ricer or mash. Weigh out 250g and cool.
- Sieve the flour and baking powder onto cooled mash. Whisk eggs and milk together and add to the potato mix with the chives. Whisk the batter until smooth.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add ½ tsp sunflower oil and a dot of butter. When the fat is hot, start to cook the pancakes. Add 1 tbsp of batter for each pancake and cook 4 at a time. Cook for about 1 min until the underside is golden brown and small bubbles appear.
- Flip the pancakes and cook until golden. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes in the same way, adding a tiny bit of oil and butter to the pan as and when needed. Serve the pancakes in stacks with creamy scrambled egg and crisp rashers of streaky bacon.

Tips:
- Use starchy potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good choice, as they have a high starch content that will help the pancakes hold together.
- Grate the potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly.
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes. This will help prevent the pancakes from being too watery.
- Use a non-stick skillet. This will help prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Sour cream, applesauce, and fried onions are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Potato pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
