In my experience, cooking the pancakes on a medium-low heat allows them to cook through evenly without becoming too browned on the outside. It's all about finding that perfect balance!

I think using grated potatoes and incorporating beaten eggs into the batter can help make potato pancakes fluffy. Though, make sure not to overmix the batter to maintain a light texture!

To make potato pancakes fluffy, try grating the potatoes finely and squeezing out excess moisture before mixing them with the other ingredients. Adding a small amount of baking powder or beaten egg whites can also help create a lighter texture.
