German Potato Pancakes recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil or butter, for frying
  • Optional: sour cream or applesauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Grate the potatoes and onion. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil or butter.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture for each pancake and flatten slightly in the skillet.
  5. Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve hot with sour cream or applesauce if desired.
