Do you have a few potatoes at home and a craving for something warm, fragrant and satisfying? You can prepare these potato pancakes even after a hard day – simply, quickly and with a certain effect of “it disappeared before I finished making tea”.

The pancakes are soft, tender, pleasantly cheesy and thanks to the herbs they carry that homely aroma that spreads in the kitchen like a silent promise of a good dinner. And if you want, you can fill them with ham or cheese, which suddenly turns them into a full-fledged lunch.

Add a simple homemade sauce of mayonnaise, garlic and a drop of soy sauce to them – and you have a snack that can handle even an unexpected visit.

🥣 What you will need
For the patties
5 potatoes
2 eggs
100 g grated parmesan
70 g breadcrumbs
Parsley sprigs to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Frying oil
For the simple sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon soy sauce


🔪 Step-by-step instructions
Peel the potatoes, cut them into pieces and cook them in lightly salted water. It will take about 20 minutes.
Mash the soft potatoes into a smooth mash.
Add the breadcrumbs, parmesan, chopped parsley, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix everything until you have a pliable mixture.

Lightly grease your hands with oil and form small patties.
Fry them in a pan on both sides until golden brown – usually 3 minutes on each side is enough.
Mix mayonnaise, garlic and soy sauce – you’ll get a quick dipping sauce.
And that’s it. Let it cool for a while and serve.
🧊 How to store them
You can store the patties in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Let them warm up briefly in a pan or in the oven before serving.

📝 Tip for home cooks
Want something more nutritious?
You can flatten the patties, put a piece of cheese or a slice of ham in the middle and wrap them like little pockets. Inside, a warm, runny filling will form when fried.
