And our neighbors call them potato pancakes. In Europe, this is what they generally call potato pancakes. Well, okay, it's not that important.

Recipe for potato pancakes with cheese
Ingredients:
- Large potatoes - 3 pcs.
- Egg - 1 pc.
- Onions - 0.5 heads
- Flour - 3.5 tbsp.
- Grated cheese - 50 g.
Preparation:
1. Wash the potatoes, peel them, wash them again. Fill in cold water so that it does not turn black and grate it on a coarse grater. Such potatoes produce little liquid, but if you grate them on a fine grater, there will be a lot of liquid. And it is absolutely not needed when frying potato pancakes.
2. Cut the onion in half, then in half again and cut the quarters as thin as possible. (In this case, it will practically disintegrate into straws on its own). We need half an onion for 3 potatoes.
3. Add the onions to the potatoes and mix everything. Salt to taste, keep in mind that potatoes take a lot of salt. If you like, you can pepper it. I always pepper if there are no children at the table. You can pepper it with any pepper, even hot pepper, to taste.
4. Add a little cheese to the potato mixture, mix and beat in the egg. Mix everything again so that the egg is completely mixed with the potatoes.
5. Now add flour. Add flour at the rate of 1 tablespoon of flour per 1 potato. Those. 3 potatoes - 3 tbsp. flour, well, for half an onion, half a spoon, only 3.5 tbsp. flour. Mix everything well.
In general, whenever you cook and add new ingredients, try to mix so that the mass is homogeneous, unless the recipe specifies otherwise.
6. Place the frying pan on the fire, pour a little oil and heat it up. Some people like to pour a lot of oil and fry it as if deep fat. I never fry pancakes like this. Potatoes absorb a lot of oil; as much as you pour, it will absorb as much. Therefore, it is better to add a little later.
7. The oil has warmed up and we begin to fry the potato pancakes. Fry over medium heat, so the potatoes are better fried. Because over high heat, the potatoes can get very fried on top, but the inside will be soggy.
8. Spoon the potato mixture and place it in the pan. Using a second spoon, we help to slightly trim the potato pancakes so that they become rounder and press down a little with a spoon to level them so that they become thinner.
Fry on both sides until golden brown. OK it's all over Now.
Potato pancakes are ready. How golden brown they turned out, with a crispy crust.
Everyone at the table while they're hot.

Real potato pancakes are distinguished by their special taste, which is ensured due to the properties of Belarusian potatoes.
Did you know that these varieties of bulba (or potatoes) contain a large amount of starch and this is what makes it possible for traditional Belarusian dishes be so delicious?
Interesting: in cases where the dough turns out to be somewhat liquid, some cooks add starch instead of flour.

We prepare our potatoes: wash, peel, chop with a grater along with the onion;
Sometimes it happens that potatoes produce a lot of juice. In this case, it should be squeezed out and drained;

Potato pancakes without eggs: basic recipe
No less famous is the recipe for making potato pancakes without using flour or eggs.

To create this dish you need to prepare:
- A dozen potato tubers;
- Onion;
- Vegetable oil;
- Salt and pepper.
To prepare such potato pancakes without eggs, first of all, peel and wash the onions and potatoes, grate the vegetables on a fine grater. 
Interesting: onions are added not only for their taste qualities, but also so that the potatoes do not lose their color.
Next, add salt and pepper to taste into the dough, prepare a frying pan and oil for frying. Fry on each side for a couple of minutes until a golden crust forms. Serve hot with sour cream or other sauces.
An alternative to a frying pan: cooking potato pancakes with cheese in the oven
But potato pancakes can not only be fried on the stove, but also baked in the oven. This recipe will be especially useful for those who are not recommended to consume fried foods, but I want pancakes.
We use as ingredients:
- Potatoes - 8 pcs.;
- Flour - 3 tbsp. spoons;
- Chicken eggs - 1 pc.;
- Onion - 1 pc.;
- Cheese (preferably use durum varieties) - 250 g;
- Salt - to taste.
For baking you will also need vegetable oil and breadcrumbs.
Now let’s look at how delicious it is to cook potato pancakes with cheese. The first step is preparing the dough. Potatoes must be thoroughly washed, peeled and chopped. The resulting juice must be squeezed out, then add salt. 
Peel the onion and cut into small cubes, add to the potatoes. Beat the egg a little with a fork or whisk and add to the previous ingredients.
Last on the list, add flour and mix everything thoroughly. Prepare the topping: grate the cheese (or use a coarse one).
Second stage: baking. Grease the baking sheet a little with vegetable oil and sprinkle with a little breadcrumbs. This will ensure that we can easily turn the pancakes over.
Spread the dough with a spoon and place the baking sheet in the oven for 7-10 minutes at 200 degrees. After the allotted time, turn it over, sprinkle the potato pancakes with cheese and leave for another 5-7 minutes.
Place the finished potato pancakes on dishes. Serve with sauce or sour cream.
Using the latest technology: potato pancakes with minced meat in a slow cooker
Increasingly, housewives do not use classic frying pans and pots for cooking, but more innovative appliances: pressure cookers, multicookers, and so on. Moreover, you can “cook” almost any dish in them, including potato pancakes with meat.

- Potatoes - 1 kg;
- Minced meat - 0.5 kg;
- Onion - 2 pcs.;
- Eggs - 2 pcs.;
- Flour - two spoons;
- Spices (salt, pepper) - to taste.
To fry potato pancakes with minced meat you will need a small amount of oils
We start according to the traditional scheme: wash the potatoes thoroughly and chop them. Add finely chopped onion (if you are afraid of tears, you can chop it with a blender) and salt. After this, add one by one: eggs beaten with a fork or whisk and flour.
We also take out our minced meat, pepper and salt it. If you want it to be a little softer and more tender, you can add a spoonful of sour cream or cream.
We prepare the multicooker: select the “Multicook” program and set the temperature to 160º.
Grease the bowl with a small amount of oil or fat. First, lay out a small pancake from the potato mixture, then carefully distribute a small amount of minced meat over it. The third layer is dough.
Important: the minced meat should be distributed over almost the entire surface of the potato pancake, and not lie in the center in the form of a ball. Otherwise, you risk getting a half-finished dish.
Fry the pancakes in a slow cooker on both sides until golden crispy. When all the potato pancakes are fried, wash the multicooker bowl and set it to the “Warming” program.
We put all the potato pancakes there and wait another 20-25 minutes. After this time, serve hot potato pancakes with minced meat to the table. Season with fresh herbs, sour cream, sauces or cracklings.
