Thoroughly wash and scrub the Jerusalem artichokes under running water to remove any dirt.
Peel the Jerusalem artichokes (optional, depending on preference) and grate them using a box grater or the grating attachment of a food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Jerusalem artichokes, all-purpose flour, eggs, and milk. Stir until well incorporated.
Add the finely chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir to combine and let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the hot pan, spreading it slightly to form a circle.
Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches, adding more olive oil as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the pancakes warm with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
