Matafan AKA Fluffy Potato Pancakes
Matafan, or Fluffy Potato Pancakes, from Dorie Greenspan were thick, tender and delicious!
Perfect for brunch or even dinner, these French pancakes come from the Savoie region, you can serve them with maple syrup or go savory with sour cream and bacon!
Matafan AKA Fluffy Potato Pancakes
These fluffy potato pancakes were a family pleasing dish. Baked potatoes were riced, combined with eggs, flour and milk before being lightened up with whipped egg whites. Finally the batter was fried in butter, of course!
Matafan Serving Suggestions
I paired our matafan with vinaigrette dressed greens and roasted chicken for a lovely weekday dinner. I wish I had made more of these little devils. They’d be nice for brunch or breakfast, too

Wow, these sound wonderful. I have never had anything really like these before. Great presentation!
This is the second post i have seen doing potato pancakes and honestly I am a little sad I didn’t think of this as well. So awesome- who doesn’t love a pancake and a potato so the combo is fabulous!
I couldn’t see the recipe over at her site, but they sure look lovely, Lizzy, and as you say very pleasing 🙂
Not like the potato pancakes my husband makes but boy do they look good, really more like a real ‘breakfast’ type pancake. I’m going to make these next week with the roast, can’t wait-thanks for the preview!
I am glad I stopped in because I saw another post on this and was wondering why my potato pancakes do not look like this. You did put some clues in this post, so I now have something to go on. Picture perfect-yum!
yum!
Mmmmm…… That plate looks so good , gotta make this :).
Every time I see a Dorie recipe, it reminds me that I need to open my copy again and get cooking from it. These look fantastic.
These are pretty much the perfect pancake in my book. I’ll be making these again 🙂
Oh wow. The egg whites make these so light and fluffy and the butter makes them decadent! I am going to save this and make it for my family on Christmas morning.
Liz- it looks like these came out beautifully for you!
Glad you enjoyed 🙂
This sounds like a great side dish, or a fun party appetizer! I will have to try them out!
I have never had these although now I am intrigued to try them after seeing this recipe sounds delicious as it looks!
Your pancakes turned out fantastic!
They sure look fluffy!! Can I just stuff them in my face??
mmmmmm……..this looks so good. I love anything with potatoes.
Mmmm I love potato pancakes but these look so different from the latkes I’m used to. Looks like they came out great!
