potatoe pancakes (placki kartoflane)

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/4 -1/2 tsp. salt
4 Tbs. flour (they became softer the more flour you use)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
4 Russets potatoes (wash potatoes and grate them - I don't peel my potatoes)

Preparation:
1. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, add grated potatoes, salt, flour & baking soda. Stir mixture.  
2. In a large frying pan over a medium flame add some shortening (I use Canola oil) and allow it to heat up.

3. Drop batter by spoonfuls making 2" circles in pan. As edges of pancakes brown carefully turn using a fork. Potato pancakes should not cook too fast as you will make them too crisp but too low of a flame and they will absorb too much shortening. After turning pancakes and allowing to cook for 1-2 minutes remove from pan and place on paper towel covered tray. 

4. Continue to cook more pancakes adding shortening as needed.

You can serve them with sour cream (my favorite), apple sauce, meat sauce or sprinkle with sugar.
Enjoy!
