My Grandmother made these and used the "box grater" method, served with BOTH sour cream AND home made apple sauce. She also added chopped green scallions to hers. DELISH!!!
I made The Polish Chef recipe last night. I've been making these for 30 years, one recipe or another from the time my mother taught me. I'm looking forward to trying your recipe. Quick and easy. I can tweak it where I think I need it. Polish soul food baby! Can't beat it.......... (Said no cardiologists, ever) LOL Thank you for the recipe 😊
I drain the pancakes using a toast rack over a sheet pan to recover the oil. My Oma would sometimes add a raising agent to the batter, add herbs and or garlic, or fine chopped bacon or smoked sausage.
🥔🥔 Potato Pancakes!! This is just what I was looking for! Your clear presentation made it look easy. I make cooking videos too & I’m always looking for recipes & cooking tips. Thank you for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn from each other!
If you overwork potatoes in a processor like that, it turns the texture gummy. Try the traditional grater, go slow, and see the difference for yourself. Also, leaving the potatoes in larger strips, adds texture, and more surface area for the oil to turn into crispy edges on the platzki.
I seen a video from like 12 yeas ago and the guy used a blender and just put it all in there, the flour and egg instead of bringing it out and doing it by hand. But still those look so good!! Thanks.
First, those looks delicious. Second, I very much judge a cook on how well they mix their ingredients.. and sir, your mixing technique is both thorough and satisfying. 🤘🏼
@@SugarSaltFatBooze I can tell. Lol I take a weird sort of pride in my mixing abilities as well. I think that might be why I'm so anal retentive about it when I'm watching cooking videos. The only complaint (if I would even call it that) would be, I would like to see you scrape the sides of the bowls. You cut that part out LOL 😆 (by the way, I'm from Patrick's crew. Been kind of lurking your TH-cam page for a couple of months.)
if you want to have a more rustic Latke, grate 1/3 of the spud on the four sided grater, the same with the onion, then food processer the rest. dab of cayenne. then, once fried, stand 'em on end in a narrow loaf pan, for the excess drip...
@@SugarSaltFatBooze Absolutely, drink it down with some Kompot and feel like you are in your grandmothers kitchen. Maybe an idea for a quick video, so a couple different recipes?
Yummy with applesauce. I have used honey and that's good too.
I AM FROM ECUADOR BUT I LIKE POLISH FOOD A LOT THANKS FOR THE RECIPE

She knew what she was doing! Yummy!
Wow, that looks both simple and really nice. I'll try these someday soon as a substitute for hash browns in a more or less full English breakfast!
You do it well. I did them today,my recipe is similar. Greetings from Poland
Dziękuję bardzo! These are always a hit. Good to know I'm doing it right! 🇵🇱🇺🇲

It may not be good for the heart, but it's good for the soul! Enjoy, and thanks for watching! -Roger

All are fine suggestions! Thank you!

That's awesome! Enjoy, and best wishes to you and your channel!
Nicely done ❤❤😊
Thanks for the recipe… I desperately searching this 😊

I would say lose the bottom blade so it has more body and texture.
They look amazing 😋
Thank you! Happy New Year!

Of course, that's the way to do it. This dude used flour which will not be fully cooked in the short time he frys them. Bread crumbs are better.

Thank you! I take pride in my mixing skills. It's all in the wrist!

I thought about doing some cooking ASMR. Sadly, my kitchen is too noisy. Welcome, I'm always happy to hear from my lurkers! 😁😁🤘🤘
@@SugarSaltFatBooze man, the background noise is a bonus, imo. Lol (I'm in the minority on that, I think. Lol)
Stay tuned, I may put something together for you!
Looks like my mom use to make.
My mom always used a blender works just as good
thank gawd for Polish grandmothers :)
I ❤️ my babcia
We essentially do the same except we drain the pureed potatoes so they don't need as much flour.
You did great
Thank you! Happy New Year!

Fine suggestions my friend
My Mom strained the liquid starch, from the grated potatoes, before adding egg and flour.
Would they be nice with pickled herring?
I'm assuming they would, i personally aren't a fan of pickled herring.
I'm also confused, it looks super liquid in the food processor was the water added as well or is it just the potato and onion?
That's just water shed off from the onions and potatoes
@@SugarSaltFatBooze gotchu just wanted to be sure I’m making an attempt at this I haven’t had Placki in forever
My mama makes those. I like to eat them with plain sugar.
Can u make krullers?
Do you mean Chrusciki? The crispy, thin angel wings?
It's kinda like Latke but with a P instead. Plah-Key
My mom used to call them Platzki which just means pancake but when she said it I know what was coming lol
And I'm sure it was amazing!
we called those potato fritters
U say potato I say latkies u say pancakes I say perogi..
And all are delicious my friend!
Throw some sour cream and sugar on there and you have the perfect comfort food!
Delicious!
