Questions, Comments & Reviews


Our family loves potato pancakes but they are so time consuming to make! I've found a trick that cuts the mess and prep time and also keeps the potatoes from turning brown....the shredded fresh potaoes that are in the Dairy Case (near the eggs). I think they're called Simply Potatoes. I had a bag I was going to make hash browns out of (for breakfast) and suddenly had an Ah Ha! moment and made them into pancakes instead. They really worked great and another plus, they don't have to be wrung out.
