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

Have seen many potato pancakes these days…yours looks one of the best!
The salad with your matafan looks great! The vibrant colours of the vegetables really add life to the pancakes! Great serving suggestion!
I’ve never done potato pancakes before but these are making me want to run into the kitchen right now. Great job on these Lizzy. Love how fluffy they are.
Those look so good! Great picture!
Love the height of your pancakes! I can imagine how fluffy they are. That knot of chive as garnish is really cute too.
Oh, this takes me back! One of my mom’s favorites, although we never had them that often. I gotta make these soon. Thanks for the reminder, Lizzy!
Your matafan look perfect. And with the salad this is such a great meal. I ate too many while cooking them so I gave up on the meal and will have to make them again. We all liked this recipe and I think my family would love your pairing.
These look great Liz and I like the rest of the meal you’ve paired them with.
I bet these were delicious. Your pancakes look really wonderful and fluffy. Well done. 🙂
Doesn’t a potato ricer make all the difference! These little potato cakes look superb, Lizzy! Have a wonderful weekend.
This was a real winner in our house, too! Love the way you served them…looks delicious!
I saw another post on these too, and both of yours looked delectable! I’m thinking about something like this instead of the traditional latke for Hannukah.
Those look perfect!
Your pictures are absolutely beautiful! Glad to hear you enjoyed them! I wish I had thought to pair them with greens – that sounds like a great combo!
Your potato pancakes turned out fluffy, and delicious, Lizzy! Such a great project with Dorie’s!
Lora did a great job on hers, too, although I didn’t get to taste it, but will be making it soon!

As Tina mentioned also, I saw another one of the potato pancake posts earlier and mine does not look like this. Yours look perfect like a pancake and I love the salad addition. Have a great weekend.
They look so fluffy.
Must open cookbook… must open cookbook… I wonder about using these instead of traditional latkes around Chanukkah.
