Description
Crispy, savory German-style potato pancakes with atender inside, perfect as a side dish or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg about 2.2 lbs potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
- 1 onion (finely chopped (about 100 g or 3.5 oz))
- 2 large eggs (about 100 g or 3.5 oz)
- 50 g about ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 100 ml about ½ cup vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Start by peeling and grating the potatoes. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess liquid from the grated potatoes for a crispier pancake.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, finely chopped onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening each into a round pancake.
- Fry the pancakes until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Take them out and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve warm, with applesauce or sour cream if desired.
