Chive Potato Pancakes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, flour, beaten egg, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten with a spatula to form a pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

- Serve the chive potato pancakes hot, garnished with additional chopped chives if desired. Enjoy!
Potato pancakes, also known as latkes, have a rich history dating back to the 17th century in Eastern Europe. These crispy, golden-brown delights are a staple in Jewish cuisine, particularly during Hanukkah. The addition of chives adds a delightful burst of flavor, complementing the earthy taste of the potatoes. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have put their own spin on this classic dish, incorporating chives for a fresh twist. In modern times, the best versions of potato pancakes with chives can be found in Jewish delis and restaurants in New York City, where they are often served with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce. The key to perfecting this dish lies in achieving the ideal balance of crispy exterior and fluffy interior, and the chives contribute a subtle oniony flavor that elevates the overall taste. For a unique twist, some chefs also add grated zucchini or carrots to the mix, creating a medley of flavors and textures. Whether enjoyed as a side dish or a standalone treat, potato pancakes with chives are a delightful culinary experience that pays homage to tradition while embracing innovation.
