German Potato Pancakes

 

These German potato pancakes are a nice change from regular pancakes. They make a great dinner meal when served with Bratwurst sausage. I spread mine with cranberry sauce and top 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
• 
  

Preparation

• Beat eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl; stir in potatoes and onion.
• 
  
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into hot oil in batches. Press to flatten. Cook until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
