Hahahaha. Your videos are great. Love the joke about having a beer. Your recipes are thorough, informative and entertaining. Would really enjoy seeing more recipes.
I can’t believe I just found you. Your recipes are wonderful and the instructions are clear and concise. I lost my Polish mom who used to make all these 40 years ago. It’s nice to watch somebody else remind me how to cook these. I found you with the pierogies I like your way better than mine. Thank you.
I love potato pancakes and had not had any for years. We moved south. We went to a Perkins restaurant and I saw "potato pancakes" a new item on the menu. I thought I would try those. The waitress brought those to the table and I took a bite. I told her those taste like hash browns. Her reply was "they are, we just mix them together and fry them." I was very disappointed and did not finish eating. My polish grandmother made wonderful potato pancakes. I should have known better, when we first moved south I ordered spaghetti for the kids; they received noodles with tomato soup for sauce. I ordered a hot dog and they brought it to me blackened and fried on a bun. I sure miss the good food choices we had in Chicago. I am going to use your recipe for stuffed cabbage, thank you for posting this video.
This is so true! I moved from MA to the south and had no clue what half the food here was. When I would visit my grandparents I begged my grandmother for food lol
WOW!!! Much different than so many places trying to make these. They grind them up into a batter and it just breaks my soul. These look wonderful. I need to make them today.
I just found your channel!! My grandma was from Poland and as a kid in the late 50's & 60's in Buffalo NY, I watched her making potato pancakes, Cabbage Rolls - Gołąbki, polish sausage and pirogi's. She never used parsley and I suppose that's the same as: Q: What's the best spaghetti sauce? A: The one Mama used to make! I'm looking forward to exploring your channel as I want to make the same polish sausage she made that I grew up with. I remember her saying, pork butt, garlic, salt, pepper and all spice...I think its all spice, I'm not so sure now, its been such a long time... :)
My grandmother made the absolute best polish sausage from scratch, she would grind the meat by hand, add all her spices and what amazed me she would always taste the raw meat for flavor, she would work with 70 and 80 pounds of meat at a time, as a child I would turn the grinder attached to the table and also blow the casings for holes, my lips would get raw from all the salt, but that first ring of sausage that came out of the pressure cooker??? Pure heaven. Have never had the same since she's gone but beautiful memories
My mom makes them little differently, just blend raw peeled potatoes with onions, add a bit of flour, salt and pepper and then fry it on a pan. Makes it easier and just as tasty.
yep, or you can grate it very finely on grater. It's a pain in the ass to do it for many placki's but they taste smooth. Then you can make some mushroom sauce from champignons and boom - it's like my mother's placki ziemniaczane
I don't remember the exact recipe, although I have it written down somewhere, but I do know it used raw, grated potatoes. We used a food processor. You could hand grate, but if you don't have a food processor or blender, cooking the potatoes first might be a better option.
Hi Chef, welcome back! My babcia would make potato pancakes with leftover mashed potatoes. She always repurposed all her food. Watching you and Susan brings back good memories of being a kid and watching her cook with my great aunts. Thank you ❤
This is a nice way to make. I have always used cheese clothe to seperate starch from raw russet. Drain the starch water, use settled starch back in with shredded potatoes then add egg and spices. I love the green onion, parsley. Use sour cream and apple sauce dollops. So delicious.
Good video. My mother used to make them when I was growing up and I loved them. We always had them plain with a side of ‘buttermilk’ but the buttermilk was served in a bowl as a cold soup with salt and pepper. I loved it and I need to make them soon. It was such a good combination that I don’t think I could ever change. True Polish guy with the beer, haha. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent! Reminds me of my ma and I cooking in our own restaurant. You're making me hungry...when the misses flipped the first potato pancake I could actually smell the potato and green onion...Nice job!
My grandma used to make them without the greens, we would put either applesauce, sour cream, or brown sugar on them ❤️ But I will definitely try these, they look amazing!
I made some of these for my local church. Everyone loved them. I make them the way my mom used to with grated raw potatoes and ordinary onion. My father was Polish so he passed the recipe on to her. Mom was English. I love these pancakes cold too: in fact they taste better cold.Great with a mixture of grated cheese and grated carrot. Loved the video though!
Ok, subbed at the very first lesson... "Russet, otherwise known as baking potatoes." Boom, with that simple phrase, you've saved every person from every country the hassle of finding an equivalent. Now that's a teacher.
Latkes ... but we makes them with grated raw potato, egg, onions. Yum. PS You keep the grated potatoes in water till ready to use. Squeeze the water out of the potatoes VERY well. Discard the water but keep the starch that settles to the bottom. Add that back into the potatoes, onion and egg mixture.
More videos please :) I already have the perfect pizza dough recipe from Susan's Cooking School. I've made pierogi from memory. My grandmother was from Poland and I lived with her from age 11-18. She never let me help her make anything so I had to watch and I did. I will go and watch the cabbage rolls now to jog that memory and last but not least....I love potato pancakes and I can't wait to make these this weekend.Thank you
My dad used to make them using a blender recipe, and I've been spoiled for that type since childhood. But there are so many ways to make potato pancakes!
I was so happy to find the Polish chef, but sad to see he hasn't posted any videos in a year. After reading some of the comments I can see why. Accusations of not being a Polish recipe or being Polish Himself is plain horrible! There is not only one way of making a dish, if there was life would be very bland. I don't care where you are from if you're proud of being Polish and of Poland then your a Pole in my eyes. Thank you very much Polish chef! Byłem bardzo szczęśliwy, że znajdę polski szef kuchni, ale smutno, że nie wystąpił żadnych filmów w ciągu roku. Po przeczytaniu niektórych komentarzy mogę zobaczyć dlaczego. Oskarżenia nie jest polskim przepisem lub samego polskiego jest zwykły okropność! Nie ma tylko jednego sposobu nakazu dania, jeśli było życie było bardzo bland. Nie obchodzi mnie, dokąd jesteście z dumnego z bycia polskim i Polski, to twój biegun w moich Polokem .Dziękuję bardzo Polskim szefem! Stow lat!
You ate the evidence! lol, can't help but think of that movie when I see this, and another of my favorites that mum made, and we didn't pay attention to what she did..because we thought she would always be here to make them for us. She would also leave some of the crispy bits in the pan, then make a nice omelet that they formed themselves into..then we would all try for the part of it that had the most! But I can't get enough of pancakes, and thank you very much for sharing the making of them with us ;)
so funny story, last night i decided to make polish food and made perogi and potato pancakes and this morning this channel was on my recommended, glad to see i did it right although i used cheddar in my perogi
You two are Awesome ...Blessings to you and the very tasteful looking food you two create...And i am positive it is most Yummy..If only we were Neighbors ..lol
My mom never boils potatoes and makes the best ones 👌 I am willing to try it your way though :) she also doesn't use chunks of onion but grates it with potatoes.
Simple quick and tasty.My version is just a tad different,but is quite good.I use left over mash and use your same ingredients and they come out amazing
I can see several reasons now why my first attempt(s) at potato pancakes (latkes) we’re not successful. I’m excited to try these with this new recipe. I have a feeling they’ll come out much better. I think these would be delicious with applesauce over top as well.
We used to make this exact recipe in Poland, but didn't precook the potatoes. We grated them raw, and squeezed out the water. I need to try this recipe to see if they are better!
I am half Polish and my mother would make these when I lived at home, I never could get a recipe from her for either potato pancakes or pierogi. She would laugh and tell me it was a little of this and a little of that.I never got her recipe. I followed your video for potato pancakes with the exception of parsley and they tasted just like Mom used to make. Thank you for helping me relive those days!! I don't know if I missed it or if it was excluded but how many potatoes are needed for how many servings? I grated two large russet potatoes for my wife and I . I made enough for 4 to 5 people!! Can someone tell me if I can refrigerate or freeze the pancake mix because I made enough for another meal!! Pierogis will be next on my list!!
Never freeze potato pancakes. You just don't freeze it. . . This is a cheap and quick recipe that can be made in a few minutes and you can eat fresh. My husband eats it before I can fry them all. th-cam.com/video/63_jjseeDJs/w-d-xo.html I chose a similar recipe, which I do but I grate potatoes on fine meshes on a regular grater. Ana's pancakes came out too thick. Because she shredded the potatoes in the processor too much. They did not grow as they should. I suggest you add 2 eggs and not too much flour. I never extract the juice of potatoes. The juice will add crunchiness to the pancakes. The added flour will thicken it. I grate the onion and chop the other half with a knife. It also adds a little chopped dill or it can be dry. Fry in normal oil. The best potatoes for pancakes are Idaho or Yukon. Have a nice day and good luck.
Interesting... here in New Zealand, I've cooked "mock whitebait fritters" with grated potato, only difference seems to be that your potatoes are partly cooked first, and you also have greens in it as well.
Ohhh boy I bet that kitchen smells sooooo good! They look awesome! I have to say, though, I'm very biased -- my mom's are the best. Those do look amazing tho...
Yes. We were Polish & only ate them with applesauce. My husband is a Polish Jew & he eats them with sour cream. My daughter always thought they were like hash browns (we like them crispy around the edges) so she ate them with ketchup. I even luv them plain. Every year we go to the Polish Festival & eat like pigs. But don't worry, we dance it off. It's a three day party, much like a Polish wedding.
Alright, Susan! A woman after my own heart. I've probably made a million pancakes & I have the hips to prove it. And the stomach. And the butt. Okay, I look like a stereotypical Polish woman complete with moustache. There! Are you happy now? I am because I'm eating latkes.
Hi there! Yummy yummy! I’m wondering what difference would be grating raw vs. cooked potatoes! My oma always did raw ( pulverizing 1 potato in blender with an egg and spices as a “binder”)... but they always looked greeny/grey from oxidization. I just may need to try this soon!
Hahahaha. Your videos are great. Love the joke about having a beer. Your recipes are thorough, informative and entertaining. Would really enjoy seeing more recipes.
Nice food and nicer people. Thank for sharing.

ppl need to stop going to perkins, blah bland food
@@nik_5992 a staple during the depression. I'm that old!
Watching your videos makes me proud to be Polish. Great videos
That's great!
Love the easy banter between the two of you! You make cooking fun....

Marvelous. Must do, too nice not to.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
So glad I rediscovered this channel. Great recipes and wonderful salt of the earth people. My kind of food; my kind of folks.
I’ve been on TH-cam for so long how have I missed this guy

Daniel Uchanski My Mom also added eggs
The same way my Polish Grandmother, Mother and I make them. We all grate raw potatoes.
Yep, dad made them..raw grated potatoes. A little grated onion. No egg.
I don't remember the exact recipe, although I have it written down somewhere, but I do know it used raw, grated potatoes. We used a food processor. You could hand grate, but if you don't have a food processor or blender, cooking the potatoes first might be a better option.
Had a Polish roommate and she used to put frozen corn in some of her potato pancakes! It was delicious.
Love this recipe. Much better than the one I was used to making. More videos please!!

It was such a good combination that I don’t think I could ever change. True Polish guy with the beer, haha. Thanks for sharing.
Yes to buttermilk ..
@@ThePolishChef What about plum powidl?
Mashed potatoes and buttermilk = Polish ice cream
They're so cute together! All the recipes on this channel look so good, I can't wait to try them!
Thank you. I love the parsley and green onions as well as the tip about adding oil when cooking.
Thank you, Susan and Dariusz!
My ancestors were Polish, and they came to the US in 1893. Thanks for the video! I’ll try the recipe.
I love potato pancakes either with sour cream or applesauce. I can eat them every day.
Susan, you are a WONDERFUL cook! I so love your videos.
Came out great- thank you both very much for this delicious recipe!
Mmmmm LATKES!!! My mom made them kind of the same way… no matter which way you slice it… they are darn good. Comfort food. Mazel Tov 🙌🏼
Excellent! Reminds me of my ma and I cooking in our own restaurant. You're making me hungry...when the misses flipped the first potato pancake I could actually smell the potato and green onion...Nice job!
Awesome recipe guys! Thanks for sharing
One of my favorite foods. Nice demonstration.
Thank you for this recipe .💕🌹
My pleasure 😊
My boyfriend is Polish and he've been craving potato pancakes. We can't wait to try your recipe!
Sounds great!
Love this video. I've been looking for this recipe and the instructions for a long time! I can hardly wait to make this.
My grandma used to make them without the greens, we would put either applesauce, sour cream, or brown sugar on them ❤️ But I will definitely try these, they look amazing!
So cute! Thanks for the videos
Thank you for the secret recipe, they look delicious.
This is pretty much how my mom used to make them, my mouth is watering right now.
They look great. Thank you
“Not yet” lmbo they’re too cute! I hope you’re healthy and fine polish chef and Susan. Love you AA friend in Texas.

I grew up in Poland and this is one of my favourite foods. What about placki po wegiersku ? Just amazing…
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and it makes me miss my moms cooking. Bless y’all and hope you’re doing well 🙏🏻❤️
I have had these before and they are so good to eat anytime of the day and yes a good beer is a must =)
Oh, thats how we can make latkes!!! Great videos! Im starving!
Latkes ... but we makes them with grated raw potato, egg, onions. Yum.
PS You keep the grated potatoes in water till ready to use. Squeeze the water out of the potatoes VERY well. Discard the water but keep the starch that settles to the bottom. Add that back into the potatoes, onion and egg mixture.
You're telling a chef...and his wife....how to cook...
I've made them grated potatoes, onion, egg S&P ,a little flour. I never squeeze the liquid out .They come out crispy that way.
More videos please :) I already have the perfect pizza dough recipe from Susan's Cooking School. I've made pierogi from memory. My grandmother was from Poland and I lived with her from age 11-18.

thanks polish chef...ill be cooking these on saturday for breakfast...yumy!!
I would have loved to dine at your restaurant. This food is so simple but so wholesome, who could resist?
Definately making these also Thank you for your kindness God bless
My dad used to make them using a blender recipe, and I've been spoiled for that type since childhood. But there are so many ways to make potato pancakes!
You are right.
I made these tonight and they were fantastic!
I love potato pancakes. So good! Those look great.
So many ways to prep placki 😎
This is a good one
Try using UNCOOKED grated raw potatoes, add grated onion, garlic, egg, flour, salt, pepper, and cook in Crisco for some amazing flavor. No parsley.
You should sell those Polish Chef Aprons! I'd buy one!
I was so happy to find the Polish chef, but sad to see he hasn't posted any videos in a year. After reading some of the comments I can see why.

I'm cooking them right now! I love the beer jokes 🤣
Awesome! Can you do a receipe for Borscht? Thank you!

Growing up we'd eat potato pancakes with applesauce.
Wayne S you can put applesauce with anything

You will make two different potato pancakes. Both good, taste and texture very different. This one is less work and less oil.
Beet borscht recipe please? ... pretty please?.. with sugar on top?
Very Nice Video. Thank You !
👍👍👍Thanks for sharing this vid. Definitely try this awesome Potato Pancakes.🍹😍
Exactly like my babka made. Great recipe.
Oh damn...you had a polish cake as family? .... wow.......called babcia.....
Love it. I sure hope he finally gets that beer. Lol :)
Great recipe! You two are too cute!🍻🍺
"now we are going to make our potato pancakes, first I'm going to have a beer" you sound just like my papa. Haha
Love these videos? Where is the Polish chef? I bet he has so many other recipes to share.
