About Potato Pancakes (Placki Ziemniaczane)

Anna's placki ziemniaczane are savoury Polish potato pancakes with onion, eggs and wheat flour. Her family serves them with cold sour cream and a sprinkle of sugar.

The pancakes have a smooth potato-and-onion batter and a golden fried exterior. Their savoury flavour contrasts with the creamy, lightly sweet topping.

Anna places this thrifty dinner within Polish home cooking and her own family's habits. The hot pancakes and cool sour cream give the serving its characteristic temperature contrast, with sugar scattered over the cream.
