German Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
• ½ cup finely chopped onion
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions:

1. Mix the base: In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Prep the potatoes: Shred the potatoes using a grater or food processor. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
3. Combine: Add the shredded potatoes and chopped onion to the egg mixture. Mix well to coat everything evenly.
4. Fry it up: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil and flatten slightly with a spatula.
5. Cook until golden: Fry 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve hot: Best enjoyed warm and fresh from the skillet!

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Sweet: Top with applesauce or powdered sugar.
• Savory: Serve with sour cream, chives, or smoked salmon.

💡 Tips:

• For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the pan.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) while you finish the batch.
