German Potato Pancakes

German Potato Pancakes

Experience a delightful departure from the ordinary with these German potato pancakes. They transform into a satisfying dinner when paired with Bratwurst sausage. For a unique twist, I like to spread mine with cranberry sauce and drizzle them with maple syrup.

Ingredients:

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded

½ cup finely chopped onion

¼ cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

In a large bowl, beat together eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded potatoes and chopped onion.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil in batches. Press them to flatten. Cook until golden brown and crisp, approximately 3 minutes on each side.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture. Serve and enjoy!
