Shredded Potato Pancake

Some tips for frying the potato pancakes

1. Use a slice to shape the pancake so that they can be uniform in thickness.
2. At the first part of frying, use medium fire so that the pancake can form quickly and then remember to slow your fire, otherwise the pancake might be burnt easily.
