You should never do that! Buy some potatoes and grate them by hand. You will never have any potato pancakes as good as the ones you hand grate. Just make sure to squeeze the liquid out real good. Add some grated onion, a little flour and some egg. Fry'em up, and serve them with sour cream and caviar with a bottle of champagne. Yum!
Thank you ';top contributors'; but where I come from there's no such thing as potato pancakes from instant. You can stop googling for recipes. That's illegal. Fact!





Get real potatos and make them.





Top contributors always give the worst advice. Anyone can do a search . Get yourself some potatos darlin' and forget about the instant crap.
It's so easy to make them out of real potatoes....why would you do this? Eck.
Add grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onion, egg, salt, pepper.





Mix everything, and fry them up.





Top with homemade applesause.





(Rachael Ray, on Food Network, though she doesn't use Instant, but real potatoes; instant won't be quite as good, but the onion and cheese give it a lot of flavor.)
