Amish Potato Pancakes
Amish Potato Pancakes are crispy, golden skillet-fried pancakes made with fresh potatoes, onion, and simple pantry ingredients. These old-fashioned comfort pancakes are tender inside with a crunchy exterior and are perfect served with bacon, cheese, or sour cream for a hearty breakfast or rustic side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 russet potatoes large, peeled and cubed
- 1 onion medium, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
- crumbled bacon optional for serving
- cheddar cheese shredded, optional for serving
Instructions
- Place the cubed potatoes, chopped onion, egg, flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and nutmeg in a blender or food processor.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook each pancake for 3–5 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if desired and serve with crumbled bacon or shredded cheddar cheese.
Notes
For extra crispiness, squeeze excess moisture from the potatoes before blending. These pancakes are also delicious served with sour cream or applesauce.
