This recipe was sooo good! I made a double recipe as a program for my dorm (I'm an RA), and all the girls loved it! Only issue we had was keeping the cakes together, but patting them down with flour and cooking them in extra vegetable oil in the pans made them perfect! I think perhaps adding an egg or two to the recipe would also help keep the pancakes together. Cheese would also be a good additive for those who love potato and cheese together :-)

I made this recipe exactly as written, except I divided it in half as there are only two of us. I actually forgot to serve them with the sour cream, but they were delicious anyways! My husband loved them. I have some of the unfried potato mixture left over and am going to use it to top a Cottage pie for my husband's dinner tommorrow. Thanks!

My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
