For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the potato mixture. Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the potato mixture to achieve a crispy exterior. Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook the pancakes in batches to ensure they cook evenly. For a healthier option, you can bake the pancakes in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
