Potato pancakes are sometimes called pancakes, but in fact they are completely different dishes. And the difference between them is that potato pancakes are made from raw potatoes, and pancakes are made from boiled potato, including mashed potatoes, which are formed in the form of flat cakes and fried. If you have never served potatoes this way, then you should try. In a duet with sour cream, you will get a hearty and very tasty dinner.
