Description

This German potato pancake recipe pan-fries shredded potatoes and onion until golden and crispy for a savory twist on regular pancakes.

Ingredients

2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Beat eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl; stir in shredded potatoes and onion.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into hot oil, working in batches. Flatten slightly by pressing with a spatula.
4 Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
5 Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. You can cover them very loosely with aluminum foil to hold in heat without steaming them.
6 Repeat with remaining potato mixture. Serve warm.
