Potato pancakes

Potato pancakes

What you will need:

• roughly 5 large potatoes, however it depends on how many you want to serve, this is very simple to  adjust
• 3 eggs
• cooking flour
• frying oil
• salt
• pepper

Wash and peel the potatoes and wash them again. Now get a large bowl and a grater. Grate all potatoes on the potato grater, its quite time consuming, so I'd suggest you switch with someone when you get tired.

Or if you are lucky, you might have an automatic grater which saves a lot of time.

Once you've grated the potatoes, add eggs to the potatoes in the bowl as well as roughly 1 cup of flour. Add spices and mix this very well. You might want to mix this with bare hands as this will allow you to mix it better. The mix shouldn't be too watery so that you would be able to get a spoonful easily and place it on the frying pan. It should stick together quite well, however it is watery anyway. You may want to drain the juices from the bowl as you go along. 

Now, heat the oil in a frying pan. Take spoonful by spoonful of the mix and place on the frying pan. Fry until medium crispy from both sides. Done!

You may also add a finely chopped onion to the mix and/or a medium grated apple.

You can serve this with sour cream or yoghurt, however, kids love this with jam as well even though this is a savoury dish. Milk is great with this!
