Matafan - Potato Pancakes

For this French Friday with Dorie we made Matafans. There were several suggestions in Dorie's book, Around My French Table, on how to serve matafans (potato pancakes) as hors d'oeuvres.

However, when I read that her husband likes them with syrup; I was sold on the idea. Breakfast happens to be my favorite meal of the day,  when I actually have time to make it like on the weekends.  I love the combination of salty and sweet: potato pancakes with syrup and bacon!!  Yummy!! The pancakes are time consuming to make because you have to bake the potatoes first then strain them or put them through a food mill but definitely worth the results.  They are light, fluffy, and delicious with what topping you prefer.
