Pancakes are a food made of a simple batter consisting of: eggs (optional), milk or water, sugar, and butter. You can then add syrup, honey, jam, or jelly. Some will even use pancakes to wrap around sausages.

A pancake is a thin, flat cake prepared from a batter and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Pancakes exist in several variations in many different local cuisines. Most pancakes are quick breads, though some are made using a yeast-raised or fermented batter. Pancakes can be eaten at different times of the day depending on local tradition. In the USA, it is typically eaten at breakfast or as brunch. It is also binner (breakfast for dinner).

Potato Pancake is a type of potato recipe that is usually flat in a circular or square shaped manner. Potato pancakes are usually comprised of Potato flour or actual cut potatoes. There are many techniques to making a potato pancake, such as dipping a large slice of a potato in batter then deep frying it to make a flat cake. Other techniques involve baking and even grilling them. Potato Pancakes are accompanied usually by meat, such as steak or chicken. Some Chefs prefer to use some butter and Scallions to flavor the potato. You can ground up the potato, or more commonly know as "Mashing" after you boil the potatoes on a stovetop then straining the water out, then you can add 1 Tbsp. of butter, some salt is optional and cheddar cheese is used. Then you mix up the potatoes and the mixture in a mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed, from there you can get a baking sheet out and lay down Pancake-like segments in round or square shapes then baking it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they crisp and turn golden. That is the most common type of it, you can be creative and try different spices and cheeses and even shape the cakelets into stars if you want, and when you bake them keep a close eye on them so you don't overcook them.
