Matafan AKA Fluffy Potato Pancakes
Matafan, or Fluffy Potato Pancakes, from Dorie Greenspan were thick, tender and delicious!
Perfect for brunch or even dinner, these French pancakes come from the Savoie region, you can serve them with maple syrup or go savory with sour cream and bacon!
Matafan AKA Fluffy Potato Pancakes
These fluffy potato pancakes were a family pleasing dish. Baked potatoes were riced, combined with eggs, flour and milk before being lightened up with whipped egg whites. Finally the batter was fried in butter, of course!
Matafan Serving Suggestions
I paired our matafan with vinaigrette dressed greens and roasted chicken for a lovely weekday dinner. I wish I had made more of these little devils. They’d be nice for brunch or breakfast, too
