have..I do make these from scratch. I don't like the store bought ones.... We eat ours with applesauce, or sour cream, or pancake syrup....Are these anyones favorite?

I have never made these from scratch. Not sure that I would make them for me and the old grump. I try to watch my fat intake. Years ago I would have loved to have the recipe for this so I could make them for my brood.

I can PM you the recipe if you'd like. We only have them once or maybe twice a year. They are very easy to make..

My dad would make those all the time when I was younger. I loved them with syrup and butter, just like regular pancakes. Now, I can't get my hubby to even try them. The party pooper!

I think his mom used to make them, but she put everything but the kitchen sink in them, and he didn't like them at all. So now he's being very stubborn about trying them.

Well honestly...the least he can do is try them..I don't know about him. I never had them until I met my husband.

I knew that would get you..fingers meaning the edges of the grated potato, that stick out, but aren't finely grated and not mushy like mashed potatoes..like a fringe..my husband is explaining it to me...you fry them until they are golden brown...

Goodness, that takes me back to some wonderful memories! My mom used to make potato pancakes, mashed and grated. It always marked the morning as special, somehow. She was a wonderful cook and did many things from scratch but, I guess because they were so rare, her potato pancakes stand out as one very warm and fuzzy memory. I've never tried to make them myself - she set a very high standard! Applesauce or blueberry preserves, were how she served them up. Thanks, Feona, for a great flashback!

I havent ever had them. But they do sound yummy. I only had normal pancakes made with flour, and they sometimes get a bit boring. It sounds like a good way to get kids to eat vegies too Best wishes to you, feona
