Potato Pancake Recipe PLACKI ZIEMNIACZANE

What are Polish Potato Pancakes?

As potatoes are a staple food in every Polish household (thanks to cold winters and the fact that this is one of the rare vegetables that can actually make it in this weather), Poles have come up with different ways to use it.

Introduced sometime in the 16th Century (some say thanks to the Polish king John III Sobieski), potatoes have now put Poland among the top 10 world producers of potatoes.

You will find potatoes in soups, dishes, vodka… and sweets, as well. Thus come Polish potato pancakes!

This treat, eaten both savory and sweet, is known to be enjoyed all year round, with special note to the Fat Thursday/Tuesday, when Poles enjoy eating greasy sweets (like donuts, faworki, and potato pancakes), before the long Easter lent.

If you want to try and make potato pancakes at home - try out this simple recipe!

Directions

Prepare the potatoes - peel them and grate them finely.
Chop the onion finely.
Mix potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and a pinch of salt and pepper together, making thinner dough.
Heat up oil in a pan.
Pour a spoon of mixture for each pancake and fry the pancake on both sides (making sure the pancakes don’t stick to each other). Note that the shape of each pancake shouldn’t be a perfect circle.
Preferably dry each pancake on a paper towel before serving.
Serve with a topping of your choice!

Recipe Note

Though it may seem that the onion doesn’t belong in this recipe, remember that Polish cuisine often mixes tastes to create special combinations. Plus, onions help the pancakes become equally crispy and juicy!

CALORIES
The calorie content of potato pancakes can vary based on factors such as ingredients, cooking methods, and portion sizes. However, a typical serving of potato pancakes (about 1 medium-sized pancake, approximately 4 inches in diameter) can contain anywhere from 150 to 250 calories. This estimate is based on recipes that include grated potatoes, flour, eggs, and possibly other ingredients like onions or seasoning. Keep in mind that the calorie count may vary depending on how the potato pancakes are prepared (e.g., fried vs. baked) and any additional toppings or condiments used.
