How to Make Kartoffelpuffer German Potato Pancakes Sp5

Finely grate 1 medium yellow onion using a box grater, collecting the juice in a bowl.
Add one 32-ounce package of Simply Potatoes hash browns to the bowl with the grated onion. Gently mix in 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
Heat 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Drop 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the hot oil for each pancake, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Gently spread each portion to create a thin pancake, about 1/16 inch thick.
Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully using a spatula.
Remove the cooked Kartoffelpuffer from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Keep warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while cooking remaining batches. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Serve with your favorite toppings such as applesauce, sour cream, or chives.
