Instructions
1-Getting ready for German potato pancakes: Start by peeling and grating your potatoes, a step that sets the foundation for those irresistible crispy edges. Follow these steps closely to turn simple ingredients into a delightful treat in no time.
2-First, thoroughly squeeze the liquid from the grated potatoes using a colander and your hands or a clean dish towel to remove excess moisture this is crucial for crispiness. Next, combine the drained potatoes with the grated onion, eggs, flour, and salt in a bowl, then knead until it forms a thick, tacky mix; add more flour if needed to get it just right. Remember to use the mixture right away to keep it fresh and effective.
3-Now for the cooking part: Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until itβs hot. Drop about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the mixture into the oil for each pancake, flatten it into shape, and fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Once done, drain them on paper towels and serve them hot for the best flavor.
