For extra crispy pancakes, squeeze out any excess moisture from the shredded potatoes before mixing.
Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy pancakes. Cook in batches for best results.
Serve with sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives, a dollop of applesauce, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet and savory treat.
For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend or potato starch.
