Easy German Potato Pancakes Recipe – Oma’s Kartoffelpuffer
  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Put cookie sheet into oven.

  2. Grate potatoes, either with a box grater or using the grating blade with your food processor. Drain grated potatoes (in batches) by putting them into a clean dish towel and squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible.

  3. Put drained grated potatoes into a large bowl. Add eggs, grated onion, salt, and flour. Mix well.

  4. Using a large spoon, drop tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into hot oil or butter in a large skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten them out. Fry over medium-high heat until golden brown (about 3 to 4 minutes), flip over, and continue frying until cooked through and crispy brown (about 3 to 4 minutes). If they are frying too fast, lower to medium heat.

  5. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil and then transfer to the oven to keep them warm. Continue frying till all batter is used, adding more butter or oil as needed.

  6. Serve with applesauce, sprinkled with sugar, or serve plain with sour cream on the side.
