Potato Pancakes with Pickle Juice

This is a recipe from my father-in-law who taught it to me to feed his son when they visited from Minnesota. I think it’s German or Norwegian in origin. I often make this with thin pork chops or side pork. Add green beans and/or applesauce for sides.

Step: 1

Mix potatoes, flour, and salt together in a bowl; add egg and mix well.

Step: 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Spoon batter into skillet, spreading to form two to three 6- to 8-inch pancakes. Reduce heat to medium and fry until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

Step: 3

Serve pancakes alongside pickle juice.
