Optional Add-ins:

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or green onions

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• Shredded cheese for a savory twist

Instructions:

1. Grate and Prepare the Potatoes:
   Peel and finely grate the potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step ensures the pancakes cook up fluffy, not soggy.

2. Mix the Batter:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with yogurt and egg. Stir until well blended. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper, mixing until a thick batter forms. If using any optional herbs or seasonings, fold them in at this stage.

3. Heat the Pan:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of oil to coat the bottom. Once hot, scoop 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet and gently spread into circles.

4. Cook the Pancakes:
   Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed.

5. Drain and Serve:
   Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot, optionally topped with sour cream, yogurt, or a sprinkle of herbs.
