Instructions
- 1
Peel and grate the potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Use a box grater or food processor for efficiency.

Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- 3
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed potatoes (from the second potato) with flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 4
Add the buttermilk, egg, and chopped chives to the potato mixture and mix until just combined.
- 5
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- 6
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon.
- 7
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the griddle as needed.
- 9
Serve warm with additional butter, sour cream, or applesauce if desired.
