Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Potatoes
- 1 cup Bisquick mix
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- to taste Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. This is crucial for getting crispy pancakes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, Bisquick mix, egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined and form a thick batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil to coat the pan lightly.
Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the hot skillet for each pancake. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula to ensure even cooking.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Garnish the pancakes with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
