I love pancakes and from time to time I enjoy a good old fashioned potato pancake too! With that said, I hate having to cook up potatoes or use leftovers from the night before…so I use this “cheater” recipe when it comes to making homemade potato pancakes. To make them, you will have to utilize your blender.
Homemade Potato Pancakes Recipe
1/4 cup fresh cold milk
2 large eggs
3 cups raw potatoes, diced
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
3 1/2 tbsp. all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
Place all of the above ingredients into a large blender container; cover. Process on medium speed just until the potatoes go through the blades. Do not over-process or the potatoes will liquefy.
Turn on your griddle and get it nice & hot. Pour batter onto the griddle plate, close and simmer until both sides are golden brown and the centers are done. You can also fry them up in a skillet on your stovetop too!

I would not call this a cheater recipe. It is just a simpler way to make potato pancakes. My only concern would be if there is too much water in the raw potatoes, but I guess I’ll find out when I try them Thanks for the recipe.
My mother used to make these for us. I haven’t had them in a really long time. Thanks for the recipe!
I wouldn’t call them ‘cheater’ pancakes. I’d call them easy. I’ll give them a try. Thanks for the recipe.
I cant wait to make these potato pancakes. They sound delicious. I like potato rolls and bread to. Thanks so much for the recipe for the pancakes – fresh or frozen potato will be fine for it.
I love these and would you believe have never tried making them on my own! I’ll have to give this recipe a try.
