Make your own Placki Ziemniaczane (Potato Pancakes)!

We’re setting you fun challenges to complete every day this summer.

This week’s theme is ‘Countries‘ and today we’re challenging you to get in the kitchen and cook up a storm! 

We’re going to be making Placki Ziemniaczane which is a really popular dish in Poland. They’re basically pancakes made from potatoes and you can have them with loads of delicious garnishes!

You will need…

• Potatoes
• Onions
• Eggs
• Flour
• Garnishes, like salt and pepper, sour cream, and parsley or spring onions.

You’ll also need a frying pan (or a deep fat fryer, if you have one) and some oil.

1. Peel and finely grate potatoes, chop the onion and garlic.
2. Rinse the potatoes.
