Easy Potato Pancakes - Polish Placki Ziemniaczane

[@blondelebanese9922]

I was married to my Polish husband for 47 years and he taught me this dish the first week we were married. We always had them with some baked ham slices and ALWAYS served with applesauce and sour cream. He passed away in 2017 and every time I make this most favorite dish, I remember how much fun I had learning to cook new foods. Thanks, Jenny, for sharing your recipes with us. And for reminding me how much I love cooking even at age 72. 🥹❤️

I'm eating these right now -Absolutely the best potato pancakes ever! They were simple to make, fast, and pretty-much fool-proof. I've tried many, many recipes but this is hands-down the best.

[@juliabekalarska9549]

Hi Jenny, firstly a BIG thank you for showing us all of those wonderful Polish dishes. I’m Polish and it’s really nice to see some Polish recipes. Secondly, my grandma used to make those pancakes very often. She always grated the potatoes and onions on a grater. And she fried them really thin. So they were incredibly crispy and thin. We ate them for dinner either with sour cream and chives or with sugar. From where I am we call them placki ziemniaczane. Actually, I haven’t made them in a really long time. You inspired me to. Thanks once again!

[@27kjh]

I found your video a few years ago. It’s been the best Potato Pancake recipe ever. Thanks.

[@JokinJoe]

I always used to beg my grandma to make these. She’s still alive, she just turned 90 and is fighting cancer. I wanna make these because I miss them. Thanks for the recipe.

I can't tell you how thankful I am for this recipe. My mum made THE BEST potato pancakes, but I'm approaching 20 years without her, and 33 years+ without her making them for our family. She was Ukrainian, and this recipe is almost exactly hers with one major important difference that I can't wait to try- the 5 min drain through the strainer. I have not been able to for figure out why mine are so watery and greasy. I would use more oil because of the watery batter. Now I know what to do!! I am trying this tomorrow. Thank you and God bless you!

[@marybenne9049]

Thank you! My husband and I both grew up having these as part of our regular mealtimes and loved them. After several attempts with no real success we were frustrated beyond belief. While we had the recipe we somehow managed to never been allowed to help beyond grating the potatoes and onion and as a result we were missing one step. We weren't adding the potato starch back in and as a result they wouldn't fry properly. We tried adding a little more flour, a little more of liquid back in and even tried an extra egg all with no success, it never even occured to me to add starch back in, even though I was aware it separated from the water when I did the clean up,. Thank you again, we're so happy to be able to add them to the menu rotation for our family. 😊

Just made these exact to your recipe. I swept a tiny bit of creme fraich over the polish pancakes (I know but this is a treat!), then topped it with an over easy egg, then dribbled a sauce mixture of a dallop of mayo, saracha and dijon sauce mixed together over the egg, then scattered fried Portuguese sausage slithers all around. I ate an unbelievably delicous international breakfast... for dinner!

[@nottooclosepleeze]

Thanks Jenny, those look great. Growing up, my Polish dad never used to drain the water, I like the looks w/o the water. Me and my 4 brothers used to do all the grating and by the time we were done, a lot of the potatoes would be brown, lol. But my mom used to fry these and we would eat them as they came out and she could barely keep up!! Loved these. (We also used sour cream, but lately I have found that plain yogurt tastes just like sour cream but is healthier, I will have to try it on these. Thanks again, hope you are staying safe!

[@vetterfellow]

Jenny, you have inspired me to make fresh and switch from box stuff. Thank you so much.

[@Fulbear]

Wow, exactly as I remember "Kartoffelpuffer" from my childhood in Germany except this method is so much easier - I belong to the generation that used a shredder and many a knuckle turned bloody whilst preparing the potatoes. In my family this was traditionally served with applesauce. Also, the addition of a little chopped parsley to the dough before frying is very nice. I particularly like the small amount of oil used, the taste is better and your heart will thank you. I'm seriously impressed, thank you Jenny

[@sarahmarie1391]

My mom used to add leftover corn (frozen or fresh). I like to use green onion with the sour cream or put them in the potato pancake as well as the white or yellow onion. It a great way to get creative and add all sorts of things. My hubby loves them with bacon :D Thank you for bringing back some happy memories

[@piezoe]

I have tried several potato pancake recipes. All are similar, but your recipe is both the easiest and by far the best. Thank you so much.

[@mariannestiles6160]

I have enjoyed every video of yours I ever seen, Jenny. Nice work. Thank you. Just my opinion but Corn oil and Canola oil ARE made from Round Up ready GMO crops. I won't have them in my house, let alone cook with them. For frying, restaurants use them so now I eat out way less. Which works for me, I prefer to do all my own cooking anyway, so I know what is in my food, thank you very much. Olive, peanut and grape seed oils is not GMO, yet, So that's all I use for cooking oils. Grape seed oil is good for high temperatures.
