Hungarian Potato Pancakes🇭🇺


👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Grate the potatoes:

Use the large holes of a box grater. If watery, gently squeeze out excess liquid — but keep a little for moisture.

2. Mix:

Add garlic, onion (if using), egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until it forms a sticky batter. Add a touch more flour if too runny.

3. Fry it up:

Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter and flatten slightly.

Fry until deep golden brown and crispy — about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.


🍽️ How to serve:

  • Classic style: Warm with sour cream and chopped parsley
  • Rustic lunch: With a bowl of goulash or bean soup
  • Street food style: Topped with shredded cheese, ham, or spicy sausage

💡 Ashley’s Tips:

  • Add a little paprika or caraway for a Hungarian flavor boost.
  • Make mini versions for parties or snack boards — crowd-pleaser alert!
  • Want a twist? Add grated zucchini or carrot to the mix.

Want this turned into:

  • A cozy fall-themed Facebook post with paprika-red vibes?
  • A video script in Darija or nostalgic Hungarian-style blog post?
  • Or should we pair it with a creamy soup next time?
