The Story

Potato pancakes are a classic comfort food that originated in Sweden. Made with grated potatoes, flour, and seasonings, these pancakes are pan-fried until golden and crispy. The result is a delightful combination of textures, with a crispy exterior and a tender center. Potato pancakes are often served with lingonberry sauce or sour cream, adding a tangy and creamy element to the dish.

Directions

Step

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.

Step

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom.

Step

Take a spoonful of the potato mixture and drop it onto the hot skillet, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon. Repeat to make additional pancakes, leaving enough space between them in the pan.

Step

Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your pan.

Step

Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step

Serve the potato pancakes hot with lingonberry sauce or sour cream, if desired.

Tips for this recipe

For extra crispiness, you can add a little more oil to the pan before frying each batch of pancakes. Additionally, if you prefer a smoother texture, you can use a food processor to finely grate the potatoes instead of hand-grating them. Enjoy the potato pancakes as a side dish alongside Swedish meatballs or as a main course with a fresh salad on the side.
