Last week I made sauerbraten and I prepared these Perkins Potato Pancakes with it. I should have doubled the recipe, because the potato pancakes were gone in seconds!

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
4 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced onion
4 shredded fresh potatoes -or-
2 1/2 cups frozen hash browns (defrosted)

Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients, except for the potatoes, in a large mixing bowl. Beat by hand until smooth. Add the potatoes to the batter and mix by hand until the potatoes are combined. Let the batter rest while you preheat a skillet to about medium heat. Grease the pan with some butter.
Ladle 1/4 cup scoops of batter into the pan. Cook as many at a time as will fit comfortably into your pan. Cook each pancake for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side until brown.

Directions:
Place the dry pancake mix into a large bowl.
Add the eggs, club soda and melted shortening. Use a wire whisk to mix carefully until there are no lumps (don’t overmix).
Allow the batter to rest while you preheat your griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
Use about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the preheated skillet for each pancake; use 1/2 cup batter for each pancake.
Flip pancake only once when you see open bubbles appear on the surface and the edges appear dry around the pancake.
Makes about 10 pancakes 8″ in diameter.
