Kartoffelpuffer

I came home from work early, wanted a quick bite and was gonna go watch The Bear till my fiancé got home. Saw this recipe and thought “that looks good!” Little did I know I’d be spending the next two hours in the kitchen because hand grating potatoes and onions is NOT EASY. I need a food processor. Anyhow, these are really good, but I won’t be making any more until I get a food processor lol #germanrecipe #potatopancakes #recipes

2 1/2 pounds starchy potatoes, peeled and very finely grated (RAW, not cooked)

1 small yellow onion, very finely grated

2 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or more if needed)

1 teaspoon sea salt

neutral-tasting oil for frying

🖤Thoroughly wring out the liquid in the grated potatoes by placing them in a colander and squeezing them with your hands or by placing them in a clean dish towel and wringing out the liquid.

🖤Place the drained grated potatoes in a medium-sized bowl with the grated onion, eggs, flour and salt and use your hands to work it into a tacky mixture. Add a little more flour if needed. Do no let the mixture sit for long before using it, use it immediately.

🖤Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and place 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the mixture (depending on size preference) in the hot pan and flatten into pancakes with the back of a spoon. Fry on both sides for 3-5 minutes until the Kartoffelpuffer are golden. Place them briefly on paper towels. Enjoy!
