Specialty snacks from my hometown—potato pancakes. There are many snacks in my hometown Jinchang, such as beef noodles, liangpizi, Shami jelly, fried cake rolls, potato pancakes, etc. These snacks have different flavors. Among these local snacks, I like them the most

It's potato pancakes, why?

Let me introduce it to you, I believe you will like it.

Potato pancakes, as the name suggests, are pancakes made from potatoes.

Everyone will definitely ask: What’s so strange about cakes made from potatoes?

We’ve already eaten corn tortillas and pumpkin pie, so that’s it!

If you really think so, you are totally wrong.

The reason why potato cakes can become a specialty snack is that it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It naturally has its own uniqueness, and making it is a hassle!

The first step in making potato pancakes is to select potatoes. Only with good raw materials can the potato pancakes taste good, so the potatoes you choose must be large and plump. Moreover, the rougher the skin, the more delicious they are. Gansu is rich in potatoes, so naturally

No more talk.

The second step is to peel the potatoes. Wash the potatoes first and then peel them. This is also a technical job, but you have to be careful with your hands to avoid injury.

Now it’s time to move on to the third step - grinding the potatoes. This step is a critical step in the whole process of making potato cakes. Because grinding them poorly will directly affect the taste of the potato cakes, they must be ground evenly.

The fourth step is to prepare it. The ground potato paste is a little thin and is not easy to spread into cakes. You must add an appropriate amount of flour. The amount of flour added is such that no water leaks out during stirring.

In order for the potato cakes to taste good, be sure to add a few eggs, and finally add salt and other seasonings according to personal taste.

Okay, now let’s start pancakes. You can use a frying pan or an electric pan. The key to pancakes is to control the heat. If the heat is too high, it will easily burn. If the heat is too low, it will break. As long as the previous work is done solidly, there is no problem.

It’s not that difficult, it only takes five or six minutes to make a piece of cake.

You see, in a short while, several round, yellow-orange, and fragrant potato cakes are ready. Just smelling them makes people drool.

You will definitely ask if you can eat it now. Of course you can eat it directly.

But the best way to eat it is to spread a small amount of oil on the potato cakes, sprinkle chili noodles, sauce, shredded garlic and green onions, then roll them up and eat them, or cut them into strips and mix them. It tastes really good.

Speaking of which, I’m already greedy, and what about you?

Friends from afar, if you have the opportunity to come to my hometown of Gansu, you must try the potato pancakes from my hometown. It will definitely satisfy you, come here with pleasure, and leave with satisfaction.

I hope that more people can taste the potato pancakes from my hometown and make people linger.

I love eating potato pancakes from my hometown, and I love my hometown even more.
