For extra crispy pancakes, ensure the skillet is hot before adding the potato mixture. If the potato mixture seems too wet, add a bit more potato flakes, a tablespoon at a time. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. Serve with a variety of toppings like applesauce, salsa, or a fried egg.
