Serve pancakes with a dollop of applesauce in place of the fish for a fast meat-free option.

Love these! I make bigger pancakes and serve with a salmon fillet or other grilled/broiled meat. Even my seven year old likes this! Great as is, also!

I made 150 of these for our yacht club Opening Day. I didn't like that the potato pancake was room temp. Warm would definitely have been better. The pancakes turned out perfect. We made them small and pretty flat so they weren't mushy. I would also put more salmon on them for more taste. The sour cream topping was pretty mellow and it may work better to put the chives into the sour cream.

These were ok. The inside stayed a little too mashed potato-y. They also took longer on each side for me.
