    What if you used a salad spinner / crisper to get the water out of them
    taters

    very interesting recipe. I have never seen to make potato pancakes like
    this, in water.
    Thank You!

    Sir, these are hash browns not potatoe pancakes. Potato pancakes are mashes
    potatoes formed in to a circular shape then fryed in oil.

    Amazing recipe, Me and my family cook and prepare them the same way,(minus
    the cayenne) We make them extra crispy, topped with coarse salt to taste,
    maybe fresh dill or dried dill is great also, roasted garlic is great to
    put on top for sure. Sour cream on the side is amazing(my favorite).
    Russets are a great choice for this recipe, nice starch content for that
    fried crispyness. I prefer a good extra virgin olive oil or REAL vegetable
    oil (not canola or rape seed commercial oil)for best results, I have even
    had these deep fried in really really good oil and WOW they were amazing!
    try it if you can! Love the video Chef John!

    Where goggles while shredding the onion and never take them off until you
    are done shredding.

    You should fry in bacon grease. Love your channel.

    My mom was from Minnesota and these aren’t remotely potato pancakes anymore
    than your garlic bread or french toast were what they are suppose to be
    respectively. Potato pancakes are actual pancakes. These are hash brown
    cakes.

    Great recipe! I didn’t squeeze out enough water first time…you weren’t
    kidding! Tried half sweet potato and garlic instead of onion the second
    time. All good! By the way, are you John C. Reilly? You sound just like
    him!

    Thanks. Until I watched your video’s I could never make nice brown crispy
    hash browns or potato pan cakes.

    genius on the smoked salmon combo! I can’t wait till Hanukkah!

    where did you learn to make potato pancakes? you never soak the potatoes
    and onions in water, or add onions to water. I am Polish and I have never
    seen them made like that, they should be fine shreded and you add the flour
    and egg into the mixture of potatoes and onions, you only use olive oil or
    they come out greasy. what you have here is more of a hashbrown, rather
    than a potato pancake

    You are the Bob Ross of cooking. So soothing… happy little Potato
    Pancakes.

    I dry my grated potatoes by putting them into a clean pillow case and
    tossing them into my dryer on air fluff setting… so easy!

  17. GizmoBee1702

    One potato, OK. BUT the potato should be grated much much finer, not
    strings. Same for the onion. Put in a strainer or towel and squeeze the
    water out. Egg, flour, salt, pepper, baking powder (or not). Mix. Fry in
    shortening; turn only when brown on the bottom. Takes a while to fry, so
    spread thin. Bingo!

    How dare you fry me in oil.

  19. Soren Ingram

    Add chopped chives at the last minute mixed before the fry…!
