Should you add onions to potato pancakes: not every housewife knows
Many housewives invariably argue about whether it is worth adding onions to potato pancakes.
Although this ingredient is present in the classic recipe, not everyone adds it.
Culinary expert of TUT NEWS, cook and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you how to actually cook potato pancakes: with or without onions.
As mentioned above, onions are added to the classic recipe for the dish, and it is believed that they need to be grated, like potatoes, on a fine grater.
The resulting gruel is mixed with mashed potatoes and eggs and spices are added, after which a little flour is stirred in.
However, there are other ways to prepare the dish. For example, some experienced housewives prefer to add half-cooked onions to the potato pancakes instead of raw ones.
To do this, cut the vegetable into cubes and then lightly fry it in a frying pan with vegetable oil. Thanks to this trick, the finished potato pancakes will definitely turn out golden and incredibly tasty.
