Peter K’s: Stuffed potato pancakes to die for

Peter K’s is an old-fashioned bar with an airy, bright dining room that has made its reputation on one simple but wonderful dish, the stuffed potato pancake. A plain potato pancake, with crispy edges and a warm, soft interior, is simply wonderful. The stuffed versions served at Peter K’s are sublime. Of course, there are other selections on the menu, including a Polish Reuben, with Polish sausage instead of corned beef, for $5.50, and a Polish platter of Polish sausage, two cheese pierogi, golumbki and kraut for $9.95.
Ruth, Dan, John and I visited before the new menu was unveiled, but saw it soon afterward. It includes daily specials: Mexican Monday, Italian Tuesday (all-you-can-eat spaghetti for $4.95), All-American Wednesday, Polish Thursday, Fish Fry Friday ($8.50, fresh haddock guaranteed) and Saturday, when a pot roast dinner is $9.95 and a pot roast sandwich is $5.95.
These daily specials would have made choosing difficult. As it was, we all stuck with stuffed potato pancakes, and we were all extremely happy.
We started with a single order of chicken wings ($6.95), which were plump and juicy and not greasy. Five chicken fingers ($5.95) were served with a side of fries —the variety that are lightly seasoned on the outside. Both were very good.
The potato pancakes, though, were the stars of the show. Each one is a dinner-plate-sized cake, medium-thick, nicely fried, then filled with hot ingredients and folded over, so it resembles a taco.
Two of the stuffed potato pancake creations we chose had echoes of breakfast—a bacon, egg and cheese stuffed pancake was $5.50, and an eggs Benedict version contained eggs, peppers and onions and topped with creamy Hollandaise and was $4.95. Both, served hot, were delicious.
We also tried the Spinach Parm pancake ($4.95), made with sauteed spinach and mushrooms and softened cheese. A special that made it onto the new menu is the Chicken Alfredo ($6.95), filled with chunks of white-meat chicken, mushrooms, roasted red peppers and melted Swiss, covered with a creamy Alfredo sauce. Delicious.
Peter K’s is open from 4 to 10 p. m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday and from 11:30 a. m. to 10 p. m. Thursday and Friday. There is a handicapped-accessible ramp at the side door.
