Easy, Easy Potato Pancakes



We all relish potato pancakes but, I usually dreaded making them ~ I knew there would be blood from the shredding.  Not any more!

Bill and Bubba have been asking all winter how much longer do they have to wait for me to make potato pancakes and now that it’s spring, I finally made them.

 I thought about using frozen shredded potatoes but they need to be thawed and dried well before using, which still leaves them with excess moisture.   Then I recalled seeing green bags of fresh potatoes in the dairy case at the market.  Eureka!  “Simply Potatoes” makes Shredded Hash Browns!  Perfect!

 It only took making stops at 3 stores to find a couple of bags which to me is way better than shredding potatoes on a grater and seeing my fingers shredded. And, no way would I use a mandolin; it was too scary for me and was stashed in the garage after one use because I can be a “kitchen klutz”.  So, that makes me a “chicken kitchen klutz”, I guess!

These potato pancakes were a scrumptious hit!  This is a simple recipe made easy by using the shredded “Simply Potatoes.”  I served them with applesauce and crisp fried bacon, so naturally they’re fried in bacon grease.
