These Potato Pancakes can be made with Wheat Flour OR any Flour of your choice, but today I used Buckwheat Flour. If you have Buckwheat Flour, you may wish to try it. These Potato Pancakes need to be cooked with a generous amount of Oil to make it crispy. You may be interested in ‘Hash Brown Potatoes & Chickpeas’.
