Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin by peeling and grating the potatoes into a large bowl. The grated potatoes will form the base of your pancakes.
2. Dice the sausages into small pieces and finely chop the green onions. Add these to the grated potatoes.
3. Mix the potato, sausage, and onion mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then pour them into the potato mixture.
5. Add the flour, salt, and pepper to taste. The flour will help the ingredients bind together while seasoning will enhance the flavor.
6. Stir all the ingredients until well combined. You want the mixture to have a slightly thick consistency.
7. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
8. Carefully spoon a portion of the potato mixture into the pan, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon.
9. Cook each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
10. As each batch finishes, place the pancakes on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
11. Continue this process until all the mixture has been used.
12. Before serving, you can check for seasoning and add more salt or pepper if needed.
13. Serve the pancakes warm, with a dollop of cream on the side.
14. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired for a fresh touch.
15. For an extra kick, consider serving them with a side of spicy ketchup or hot sauce.

Tips

• Substitution: If chicken sausages are unavailable, try pork or turkey sausages.
• Crispy Pancakes: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the mixture to achieve a crispier texture.

Variations

• Vegetarian Option: Replace sausages with grated zucchini or carrots.
• Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
