💡 If the potato mixture seems too soft and difficult to form into pancakes, add more all-purpose flour incrementally.To enhance flavor, consider adding minced garlic, chives, or shredded raw vegetables like carrots or zucchini.Leftover pancakes can be reheated in a toaster or skillet to regain crispiness.For a healthier option, consider pan-frying with less butter or substituting with olive oil.
