Now this was a family pleasing recipe. Baked potatoes were riced, combined with eggs, flour and milk, then lightened with some whipped egg whites, and finally the pancake batter was fried in butter. I paired ours with vinaigrette dressed greens and roasted chicken for a lovely weekday dinner. I wish I had made more of these little devils! The details of this recipe can be found in Around My French Table…and to see what my fellow Doristas whipped up, check out the French Fridays with Dorie website.

I have never had these although now I am intrigued to try them after seeing this recipe sounds delicious as it looks!
Liz- it looks like these came out beautifully for you!
Glad you enjoyed
Oh wow. The egg whites make these so light and fluffy and the butter makes them decadent! I am going to save this and make it for my family on Christmas morning.
These are pretty much the perfect pancake in my book. I’ll be making these again
Every time I see a Dorie recipe, it reminds me that I need to open my copy again and get cooking from it. These look fantastic.
Mmmm I love potato pancakes but these look so different from the latkes I’m used to. Looks like they came out great!
Mmmmm…… That plate looks so good , gotta make this
.
yum!
I am glad I stopped in because I saw another post on this and was wondering why my potato pancakes do not look like this. You did put some clues in this post, so I now have something to go on. Picture perfect-yum!
mmmmmm……..this looks so good. I love anything with potatoes.
Not like the potato pancakes my husband makes but boy do they look good, really more like a real ‘breakfast’ type pancake. I’m going to make these next week with the roast, can’t wait-thanks for the preview!
I couldn’t see the recipe over at her site, but they sure look lovely, Lizzy, and as you say very pleasing
They sure look fluffy!! Can I just stuff them in my face??
This is the second post i have seen doing potato pancakes and honestly I am a little sad I didn’t think of this as well. So awesome- who doesn’t love a pancake and a potato so the combo is fabulous!
Your pancakes turned out fantastic!
This sounds like a great side dish, or a fun party appetizer! I will have to try them out!
delicious I love pancakes, have a nice weekend dear:)
Matafan – what an unusual and interesting name, just like the pancake. Have a nice weekend.

Must open cookbook… must open cookbook… I wonder about using these instead of traditional latkes around Chanukkah.
I think the best thing about these is that they would go well with almost anything. Your is a great pairing – what else would we expect, really! LOL!
Have a great weekend! xoxo
They look so fluffy.
As Tina mentioned also, I saw another one of the potato pancake posts earlier and mine does not look like this. Yours look perfect like a pancake and I love the salad addition. Have a great weekend.
looks yummy,thick and fluffy and perfectly cook

Sounds fantastic – I should google up the recipe for potato pancakes. I’ve never had one before and I’m a potato lover…
Your potato pancakes turned out fluffy, and delicious, Lizzy! Such a great project with Dorie’s!
Lora did a great job on hers, too, although I didn’t get to taste it, but will be making it soon!
xoxo
Wow, these sound wonderful. I have never had anything really like these before. Great presentation!
Your pancakes turned out so fluffy and heavenly! I’m sure they tasted pretty darn good too =)
Those look perfect!
This was a real winner in our house, too! Love the way you served them…looks delicious!
Doesn’t a potato ricer make all the difference! These little potato cakes look superb, Lizzy! Have a wonderful weekend.
I bet these were delicious. Your pancakes look really wonderful and fluffy. Well done.
I saw another post on these too, and both of yours looked delectable! I’m thinking about something like this instead of the traditional latke for Hannukah.
These look great Liz and I like the rest of the meal you’ve paired them with.
Your matafan look perfect. And with the salad this is such a great meal. I ate too many while cooking them so I gave up on the meal and will have to make them again. We all liked this recipe and I think my family would love your pairing.
Oh, this takes me back! One of my mom’s favorites, although we never had them that often. I gotta make these soon. Thanks for the reminder, Lizzy!
Love the height of your pancakes! I can imagine how fluffy they are. That knot of chive as garnish is really cute too.
Hi Lizzy-your Matafan look wonderful! I really liked this recipe and so did the kids:)xo
Your pictures are absolutely beautiful! Glad to hear you enjoyed them! I wish I had thought to pair them with greens – that sounds like a great combo!
Those look so good! Great picture!
I’ve never done potato pancakes before but these are making me want to run into the kitchen right now. Great job on these Lizzy. Love how fluffy they are.
Have seen many potato pancakes these days…yours looks one of the best!
This would be a good recipe for me to learn. Usually my potato concoctions are half raw.
These look so perfect Lizzy and I love how you are serving them with a fresh salad! I would most certainly do that too!
look delicious pancake and potatoes
The salad with your matafan looks great! The vibrant colours of the vegetables really add life to the pancakes! Great serving suggestion!
What a pretty little plate! I love the color on yours, Lizzy – just gorgeous.
Yours look so insanely perfect, Lizzy! Gorgeous pictures too.
You make these look so healthy! Great photos.
The matafan look good with that salad you made!
You know Lizzy that we have a strong addiction for potatoes, so this pancakes will be grabbed in split seconds, all the more with the wonderful salad that you have paired with it.
I have never seen potato pancakes like these. They look soooo forkworthy!
My husband and I had potato pancakes at a german restaurant last night
Love the way you decorated them, such color!
They look so fluffy and thick! I love potato pancakes, but don’t enjoy them enough:-) Perfectly complimented with a salad, YUM! Hugs, Terra
Ha, well I KNEW I would like these entirely too much which is one reason I didn’t make them this week. ; ) Too many potatoes = dangerous!!
These are the fluffiest potato pancakes I’ve ever seen! Bravo on another great Dorie recipe!
Fluffy potatoes? In a pancake? Awesome for any meal of the day!
Dear Lizzy, Sounds Wonderful!! I like that it was paired with the greens. Blessings, Catherine xo
I love this idea! So unique and looks delicious
Oh, these had to be great with that salad. Really terrific photos!
