Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the mashed potatoes (from the second potato) with flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Add the buttermilk, egg, and chopped chives to the potato mixture and mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

  6. 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. 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. 8

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the griddle as needed.

  9. 9

    Serve warm with additional butter, sour cream, or applesauce if desired.
