Placki ziemniaczane Recipe

Polish · Main course · 40 min total

Crispy, golden potato pancakes that are a beloved Polish comfort food, perfect as a main dish or side.

Ingredients

• 1 kg (2.2 lbs) potatoes, peeled
• 1 small onion, peeled
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Grate the potatoes and onion on the finest side of a box grater or using a food processor. Place the grated mixture in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible into a bowl.
2. Let the liquid sit for a few minutes so the starch settles, then carefully pour off the watery top and add the starch back to the potato mixture.
3. In a large bowl, combine the potato-onion mixture with eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a thick batter forms.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom (about 1/4 inch deep).
5. Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1/4 cup each) into the hot oil, flattening them with a spatula to form thin pancakes.
6. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
7. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. Serve hot.

Tips

• Serve with sour cream, apple sauce, or sugar for a traditional touch.
• Leftover pancakes can be reheated in a toaster or oven to restore crispiness.
• To prevent discoloration, work quickly after grating potatoes.
