Placki Ziemniaczane (Potato Pancakes)

[Teleskop]

Potato pancakes, literally translated in Polish as placki ziemniaczane, are often served in Poland topped with meat sauce, pork crisps or goulash, as well as sour cream, apple sauce, mushroom sauce,and cottage or sheep's cheese or even fruit syrup. Placki ziemniaczane was a food staple at the 17th-century Polish monasteries according to written recipe from Stoczek Warmiński with one onion, two eggs and a spoonful of wheat flour per each kilogram of potatoes, served only with salt and pepper. In the 19th century, especially in times of economic difficulty during the foreign partitions, potato pancakes often replaced missing bread among the peasants. The lower-quality crops given to field laborers were sometimes turned by them quickly into pancakes to improve taste and prolong freshness.Also, their popularity is closely associated with the historic presence of one of the largest Jewish communities in the world flourishing in Poland.

Potato Pancakes are delicious! I usually just eat them with other random foreign foods like Pierogi, Polish Sausage, and Sauerkraut but I'm American and that's what we do!

i love them most with sour cream and salt or sometimes with peach jam

Eat that from time to time too. Find it delicious.

Although, potato came to Europe from South America around 16-17 century. So no vikings+potatoes, sawree.

But since we are going all kinds of magics and southern stuff (like cypress tree) - adding potatoes seems not a big deal.
And it has lots of recipes to satisfy our cooking variety needs - boiled, mashed with butter, fried, baked, stewed with meat.

And if we go away from history - sunflowers (and oil. and mayonesse), tomatoes, watermelons and melons please.

You can also add some minced raw pork on top of pancake when it is being fried and fry them together.

Then it will be Belorussian edition of potato pancakes called "Kolduni" (wizards? warlocks?)

I'm not sure how accessible polish potato is in my area though so I have to double check the vicinity. Vegetarian dish isn't an issue especially since my mom makes vegetarian dishes on Sunday.
