Air Fryer Potato Pancakes Tastes Best with What?
Sour cream, ranch dressing, or a squirt, our favorite hot sauce, goes best with these pancakes. In my opinion, there is no incorrect way to consume a potato cake. Alternatively, you may eat it plain or season it with salt. It’s entirely up to you!
They go well with just about anything. Pair them hamburgers, pork chops, or meatloaf; the possibilities are endless.
What to Do with Any Leftover Potato Pancakes?
Put in a sealed jar in the refrigerator. You can easily keep them in the fridge for 1-2 days, no more than that. Each day, you’ll notice that they’re becoming softer and mushier.
How to Reheat Them?
Warm the frozen or leftover air-fried potato pancakes in the air fryer or the oven at 350 degrees until thoroughly warmed. I won’t lie: they’re best eaten right away, but they’re still good when reheated.
Is it Possible to Make Potato Pancakes with Fresh Mashed Potatoes?
You can make fresh mashed potatoes for this recipe; however, your potatoes must be chilled first. When they’re cold, their hardness helps them shape and hold their shape as they air-fried.
So, if you’re making fresh, chuck them in the fridge once they’re mashed to cool a bit. After the potatoes have cooled, you may start cooking potato pancakes in the Air Fryer.
