German Potato Pancakes Delight (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 1/2 pounds starchy potatoes, peeled and very finely grated (RAW)
02 -
1 small yellow onion, very finely grated
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, more if needed
05 -
1 teaspoon sea salt
06 -
Neutral-tasting oil, such as vegetable or canola oil, for frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Place the finely grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture to ensure crispier pancakes.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined. If the mixture is too wet, adjust by adding more flour until it reaches a thick, scoopable consistency.
03 -
Heat a few tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
04 -
Scoop spoonfuls of the potato mixture, flatten them into rounds in the skillet, and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
05 -
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
06 -
Serve the pancakes hot, accompanied by applesauce, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, fry pancakes in batches and ensure the oil is adequately hot before adding each batch.
02 -
Adjust flour quantity based on your desired pancake thickness.
03 -
To keep pancakes warm, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F (90°C) while frying additional batches.
