Ah, you mean a potato pancake—a dish made primarily from grated or mashed potatoes, mixed with ingredients like eggs, flour, and seasonings, then fried until crispy and golden. They’re known for being crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Depending on the region, they go by different names:
- Latkes – traditional in Jewish cuisine, often served during Hanukkah.
- Draniki – popular in Belarus and parts of Russia.
- Kartoffelpuffer – in Germany, usually served with applesauce or sour cream.
