I'm still working on this recipe: Authentic Potato Pancakes - Allrecipes - I can't get them to brown properly. It's like, I squash them down in the pan, but some parts must be in closer contact to the pan than others, because while some small areas brown, other parts (the majority) retain the grey-ish colour of air-exposed potato. The recipe says to cook four minutes on each side, whereas I'm cooking at lot longer, so the problem can't be that the heat is too high. I'm afraid that increasing it will burn the parts that are in contact. Do I need more oil? If all else fails, can I cheat by brushing with milk or egg white or some such thing?
