My hubby travels a lot for business and eats at a lot of places,and when he tells me had a half way descent meal somewhere I try and make that exact dish tens times better so he remembers whose cooking is better(hehehe) Got to keep him coming back to my kitchen! And Happy AT That! :P So I threw together theses amazing potato pancakes this morning, and they were a HUGE hit! Yet for me, He had plain Jane potato pancakes at IHOP while in Oklahoma, and so I took it up a few notches!!!! And it was well worth it:) I hope these find there way your breakfast table soon or even dinner! Enjoy!

How To Make mexican potato pancakes

  • 1
    Heat a large skillet with oil, lard or butter (I use lard) on medium heat.

    Shred potatoes (with skin) with a grater or food processor, dice onions and place grated potatoes and onion in large colander and drain well. Using hands, squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible. (VERY IMPORTANT)
  • 3
    Transfer mixture to large bowl. Mix in the rest of the ingredients, MINUS the lime juice.
  • 4
    mix with hands and make into patties flat patties and place on hot skillet, flipping when cakes have become golden brown.
  • 5
    Remove from skillet and place on a plate top with fresh squeezed lime juice, and sour cream and my homemade Verde Salsa.
