How to make German Potato Pancakes
Step 1: After washing 1 lb potatoes, peel them along with 1 small onion.
Step 2: Using the grating side of a four-sided grater, grate the potatoes into a bowl. Then, grate 1 onion or finely chop using a knife.
Step 3: Drain the excess water from the potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper for savory pancakes, and add the flour and egg. Mix well using your hands until the batter is well mixed.
Step 4: In a pan, heat 2 tbsp oil. Once hot, add 2 tbsp pancake batter and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Make sure the pancake is not too thick or too large for even cooking. On a paper towel or similar, transfer the pancake. To keep the pancake warm, you can place them in a preheated oven. Cook the rest of the pancake batter, adding more oil as needed.
Step 5: Serve the German Potato Pancakes right away with apple, sauce if you prefer a sweet taste or with sour cream, yoghurt, or quark for savory pancakes. Enjoy!
Notes:
Enjoy the pancakes hot out of the pan.
If you prefer savory pancakes, add extra salt, pepper, and other spices like garlic powder to the batter.
