Zubereitung von German Potato Pancakes

  1. Peel and grate 2 large potatoes on the fine side of a box grater, and 1 large potato on the coarse side. (This creates the perfect texture!)
  2. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. This step is crucial for crispy pancakes!
  3. Finely grate 1/2 medium yellow onion.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Don't overmix!
  6. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a pinch of potato mixture sizzles immediately.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, leaving space between each pancake.
  8. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip using a spatula.
  9. Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as applesauce or sour cream. Guten Appetit!
