How to Make Potato Griddle Cakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/4 cup milk.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, alternating with the remaining 3/4 cup milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Let the batter rest for 2 hours at room temperature.
  4. While the batter rests, peel and coarsely grate 2 large russet potatoes (about 2 cups grated).
  5. Gently fold the grated potatoes into the batter. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the hot skillet.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Transfer cooked griddle cakes to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
  10. Serve immediately with crispy bacon and lingonberry preserves. Enjoy!
