Certainly! Here’s a recipe for German Potato Pancakes, also known as Kartoffelpuffer or Reibekuchen:
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled
- 1 small onion, peeled
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings for serving
Instructions:
- Grate the potatoes and onion: Use the large holes of a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade to grate the potatoes and onion. Transfer the grated mixture to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place the squeezed mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the egg, flour, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the grated potato mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Working in batches, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, using a spatula to flatten them into pancakes. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Fry the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them halfway through cooking.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the potato pancakes hot with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
These German Potato Pancakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them a delicious treat for any meal. Enjoy!
