Potato pancakes are one of my family’s favorite dishes, but if you do not want to go to the trouble of grating potatoes and onions, here is another favorite that is so simple, even a child can make it.
It’s tasty and delicious and best of all it’s easy. This is a great side dish for Passover or any other time of the year. Try it, you’ll love it. If you don’t try it, you will never know what a delight you have missed.
