Potato Pancakes German Style
Potato Pancakes German Style When I make potato pancakes, I eat them as a meal. I just love them. I usually can’t decide whether I want to eat them with apple sauce, sour cream, or plain. Therefore, I eat them all three ways and don’t bother to make anything else! 6 large potatoes (peeled) To make potato pancakes German style, Grate the potato with a cheese grater. Make sure you squeeze as much juice out of the potato as you can. Heat the butter and oil together in a nice size frying pan. Add large spoonfuls of the potato mixture as you would a pancake. You may have to flatten them out a little. Fry the pancakes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown. DO NOT FLIP until the first side is nice and brown or they will fall apart. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt before serving. As I said, you can serve these with sour cream or apple sauce. Variation: Of course, like with everything I make, I have variations to this recipe. My favorite is to replace half of the potato with grated zucchini. They are then “zucchini cakes”! This is a good way to use up your zucchini in the summer and they are delicious. When you use zucchini, though, you really need to squeeze the juice out. They are even more watery than the potatoes and they’re just not that good when you get too much water in them. Another thing I do is add other veggies sometimes. You can add garlic, onion, grated carrots or tiny broccoli pieces. You can also get creative with spices. A little chopped dill or basil is good! Potato Pancakes German Style - HOME
