DIY Potato Pancakes

This is a easy, hearty side dish to accompany anything from eggs to pork chops to meatloaf. You could even top with a little sour cream and cheese, and call it a light dinner all by itself. Just like with homemade hash browns, pre-baking the potatoes makes them cook up really fast.

Homemade Potato Pancake Recipe

• 4-6 baked potatoes grated
• 2 or more cloves of garlic chopped
• 1/4 or more of an onion chopped
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup flour
• 1/4 milk or water
• 2 Tbsp oil (plus oil for frying)

1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet.
3. When the skillet is hot, scoop about 2/3 cup potato batter into pan, and press to flatten about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Fry until bottom is golden brown, flip over, and fry until other side is golden brown.

These are great with homemade ranch, ketchup, or barbecue sauce!
