For years I tried to make potato pancakes like the ones I used to eat at Sally’s restaurant on Harlem Avenue in Chicago. Every time I tried they turned out gummy and undercooked. Then last week I came across a video on YouTube that explained how to make the perfect potato pancakes. So last night I decided to try again. All I can say is they turned out absolutely delicious. Next time I make them I’ll pull out my griddle so I can get them thinner and larger. By the way, I do want to apologize for the picture above. My little darlings grabbed all the picture-perfect pancakes before I could snap a decent picture! So if you’re looking for a frugal, simple recipe be sure to check out the video below.
The Simple Living Alaska YouTube channel has hundreds of videos on the topic of frugal and simple living. In the video 5 Delicious Ways to Cook Potatoes | Winter Cooking at the Cabin Arielle shares her secret to the perfect potato pancakes or latkes. After soaking the shredded potatoes in water, Arielle then drains the water and adds the potato starch found at the bottom of the bowl back into the shredded potatoes. Who would have known this would make such a difference.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did,
