Polish potato pancakes ingredients

Potatoes: Yukon Golds, are better if you want to ensure your hash browns stick together. But if you want crispy hash browns, grab some starchy potatoes, like Russet.

Garlic: it’s that secret ingredient that makes homemade potato pancakes taste so good. You will need a whole bulb.

Salt and pepper

Eggs: I use organc free – range eggs.

Cottage cheese: use your favorite brand.

Sour cream: I use light sour cream.

Salmon: Cold Smoked Atlantic Salmon (Nature’s promise or Ducktrap river of Maine)

Herbs: Anything you like or have on hand is fine. I always keep a box of dill in the freezer. Baby dill is perfect here. You can use parsley, scallions, cilantro, chives, arugula or spinach.
