METHOD
Making the pancakes
- Peel the potatoes.
- Cook in boiling salted water. Drain the potatoes and, using a food mill, purée them with the milk. Let cool.
- Sift the flour. Mix it into the cooled potato and add the whole eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add in the unbeaten egg whites. Combine well.
- Blend in the crème fraîche one spoonful at a time without overmixing the batter. It should have the consistency of hot pastry cream.
Cooking the pancakes
- Heat 4 tbsp. of clarified butter in a large skillet over high heat.
- Pour small tablespoonfuls of batter into the very hot butter: the circles will form by themselves. Depending on the size of the skillet, you can cook from 4 to 6 pancakes at a time;
- let brown and then turn to cook the other side.
- Drain the pancakes on paper towels as they are cooked, then transfer them to a hot serving platter. Keep warm until ready to serve.

CHEF'S NOTES
Throughout France, from Lyon to Vonnas, from Mont Saint Michel to Paris, the renowned women cooks of the past all had an innate gift. From birth they seemed to have a natural feel for cooking, handed down from their mothers, who in turn had acquired it from their mothers. The happiness they imparted with their warm and generous cuisine made them queens - queens of hearts who passed down to their descendants the ancestral skill and knowledge that inspired the great chefs of today.
Resembling very light doughnuts or fritters, these potato pancakes of la mère Blanc are cooked in clarified butter and make a wonderful accompaniment to meat or poultry. But they can also be sprinkled with white or brown sugar for a delicious and comforting dessert.
