Ingredients

Pancakes:

Yogurt-lemon sauce:

Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the potato mixture Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Transfer them to a bowl and squeeze out the excess liquid. Add the eggs, cornstarch, chopped spring onion and parsley. Season the mixture with paprika, garlic powder, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until a compact batter forms.
  • Frying the pancakes Heat oil in a pan. Shape smaller pancakes from the potato mixture with a spoon and place them in the pan. Fry on both sides until golden, about 4–5 minutes per side. Place the finished pancakes on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.
  • Yogurt-lemon sauce Place the yogurt, lemon juice and zest in a bowl. Add the crushed garlic, chopped parsley, cucumber, olive oil and season with salt, pepper and a little hot sauce. Stir well and let rest briefly in the refrigerator.
  • Serving Serve the pancakes warm, accompanied by the fresh sauce. They also go well with a fresh salad or as a side to meat.

Time and servings

  • Preparation time:  15 minutes

  • Frying time:  20 minutes

  • Total time: approx. 35 minutes

  • Number of servings: 4 (approx. 12 pancakes)

Tips to make the recipe turn out perfectly

  • After grating, really squeeze the potatoes well so the mixture isn’t too runny.

  • If you like a stronger flavor, add fresh garlic directly into the batter.

  • Prepare the sauce in advance and let it chill for a while – the flavors will meld nicely.

  • You can also bake the pancakes in the oven on baking paper at 200 °C (20–25 minutes), which is a healthier option.

Conclusion

Potato pancakes with yogurt-lemon sauce are the ideal compromise between traditional flavor and a modern light approach. They are quick, tasty and easy to prepare. Thanks to the combination of a crispy crust and a fresh sauce, they are suitable not only for a family dinner but also as an unconventional treat for guests. If you are looking for a recipe that never lets you down, these pancakes should definitely be in your repertoire.
