Potato pancakes have been a staple in many countries for centuries and are found in various cuisines. Latkes and Irish boxty are just 2 of the many variations on these tasty little treats from around the world. This Amish style recipe uses nutmeg, parsley, and onion to add a lot of flavor to otherwise plain pancakes.
To make this recipe really simple using a food processor or blender to combine the ingredients. You’ll want to chop up the onions and potatoes first, but throwing them in the machine makes them the perfect size to form a batter.
In the past when making this recipe I have found that if my onion is really juicy then the batter can be a bit thin.
To combat this you can either set your chopped onion to drain on a fine strainer over a bowl while you peel and chop your potatoes. Or you can simply add a few extra tablespoons of flour to the batter to thicken it up. Whatever works best for you is the way to go.
