Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for frying)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Savory Potato Pancake Stack

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and chopped onion. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
2. Add the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper to the potato mixture. Stir until well combined.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of melted butter. Once hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it slightly to form a pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more butter as needed.
4. While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing together the sour cream, parsley, chives, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Once all pancakes are cooked, stack them on a serving plate, layering each with a generous spoonful of the creamy herb sauce.
6. Garnish with additional herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the grated potatoes as possible to ensure crispy pancakes.
• Adjust the thickness of the pancakes according to your preference; thinner pancakes will cook faster and be crispier.
• For an extra flavor boost, consider adding grated cheese to the potato mixture.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the herbs for your favorites, like dill or cilantro, for a different flavor profile.
• Add cooked bacon or sausage to the potato mixture for a heartier version.
• Top the pancakes with a poached egg for an indulgent brunch twist.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad for a light contrast.
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a protein-packed breakfast.
• Sliced avocado or guacamole for a creamy addition.
• A side of fresh fruit to balance the savory flavors.
