Comment préparer German Potato Pancakes

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!)
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!
Finely grate 1/2 medium yellow onion.
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.
Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Don't overmix!
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.
Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, leaving space between each pancake.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip using a spatula.
Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as applesauce or sour cream. Guten Appetit!
