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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.ADVERTISEMENT
Serving Suggestions:
Pair with a dollop of sour cream, a poached egg, or a side of fresh greens for a complete meal. They also make a great base for smoked salmon or avocado slices.
