This ingredient makes potato pancakes crispy
If you add a pinch of baking powder to the potato-egg mixture, the potato pancakes will be particularly crispy and delicious. This ingredient is less listed in conventional recipes, but according to merkur.de it makes a big difference and gives potato pancakes a special flavor.
You should also drain them briefly on kitchen paper before keeping them warm – this will remove any excess fat that could soften the potato pancakes.
