I never ate such a tasty savory potato pancakes. I have to share the recipe. Wich is approximate! I have no need to bake them and make exact recipe.
Delicious savory potato pancakes
Russian cuisine

Potato pancakes are very nice! Savory pancakes for a change 😉
Yes, I guess these you can eat at breakfast and at lunch and dinner too!
Ilze, I like to have them for djnner. It’s really nice 😉 thanks for the recipe shared 🙂
Me too! 🙂
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I am looking forward to trying them. They look delicious.
For me they are delicious! If you try, let me know!
I will! Enjoy your day.
Thank you! I did! 🙂
I was wondering what to do for lunch. We just made a small batch (there are only two of us, and we’re not big eaters). I shall make them again. I may vary them with the addition of spinach or kale; or maybe cheese. Mmmm. Ooh. What about cheese and cumin?
This is a basic recipe. Here in Latvia, we top the pancake with sour cream, cream cheese, bacon or salamon. I would love to hear from you when you try with kale or spinach.
Just tried with more onion (one medium onion to two potatoes) and added in some chopped smoked salmon. I also coated with a mix of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, and served with butter sauce. Delicious!
Omg! I want one too!
They were nice. All eaten now, though.
Yum!
I haven’t had these in forever. Must make soon.
Oh, know I can’t wait for your potato pancake recipe! Or is it the same as this one!?
Grandma made them but I haven’t for years. I will try this recipe.
OK. Let me know!
I’m making them and adding chives. So tasty. Thanks for sharing
Nice to hear, that you tried it and you like it! And potato and chives always go together! Good choice!
Thanks so much for sharing this Ilze. I’ll be making these when I get home to Australia.
Oh, good! I think I will make them when I get home too! 🙂
Yummm.. I will try these. May be add some cheese and chives, cumin and paprika,
Oh, nice! Let me know what your taste buds say!

Thank you.
Nice and simple recipe. Will surely try this as a part of my weekly challenge. Thanks
Oh, nice to hear! What’s in your weekly challange!?
It’s a cooking weekly challenge. I challenged myself to cook at least one dish every week as cooking is my favorite hobby. Just doing it for the past couple of weeks. Lately, I am planning to cook recipes of our blog world friends and link it back to their blog. Please do check out the cooking challenge category of my blog. Thanks.
Oh, thanks for explaining. Now I’m curious!
Sounds delicious … I’m going to try your recipe this weekend. Thanks!
Nice to hear! Add more onions. Last time I made this recipe with 3 onions (Thanks to Keith). It was delicious. Let me know if you liked it!
Our Mum’s variety of these was called potato cakes. We really liked them as children
My father’s mother, who’s been dead 45 years already, used to make us potato pancakes, which she called by the Yiddish term latkes.
Do you still make latkes yourself? It must be special to recreate that recipe and bring back those memories. I find that cooking family recipes is a wonderful way to keep our traditions alive and feel connected to those who came before us. I’d love to hear more about any other dishes your grandmother used to make or if you’ve added your own twist to her recipe!
No, I’ve never made latkes, nor in fact any of the foods my grandmother made. We regret that we didn’t get the recipe for her hamantaschen.
That’s exactly why I share my recipes here! They’re mostly for my kids to find whenever they need them.
