Kartoffelpuffer
Bavarian style pancakes with potato, onion, egg and flour
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 1 whole egg + 1 egg white
- 2-3 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp pepper
- Salt to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and grate potatoes. Spread out a large muslin or cotton dish towel and put the potatoes in it.
- Pick up the four corners and gather the edges. Twist the towel over the sink and squeeze the potatoes. Continue squeezing until the potatoes feel very dry to touch.
- Grate and squeeze the moisture out of the onion in the same way.
- Put potatoes and onion in a large bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix well with your hands.
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil on medium heat. Take around half cup of potato mixture and roll into a ball. Flatten into a patty and fry on each side until golden brown.
Notes
- If your potatoes are very large, add another egg white.
- If you are skipping the eggs, add more flour to bind.
