For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder to the batter. To prevent the potatoes from discoloring, submerge them in cold water after shredding and drain them thoroughly before adding them to the batter. Serve these potato pancakes with applesauce, sour cream, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a truly authentic experience. These are best enjoyed fresh; however, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a skillet or oven.
