As the Culinary Gods Intended
I don’t know if it is my German heritage (I’m 1/2 German), but I love the food of Oktoberfest! One of the key participants is the ever-popular potato pancake.
This is the second potato pancake recipe I’ve posted here. The first recipe I used to make a great sandwich – The Potato Pancake Reuben! These were just as the culinary gods intended, as a side dish for a German dinner.
While the basic recipe is straight-forward (potatoes, flour and eggs) you could add so many things. I’ve heard of carrots, bacon and jalapeños. I kept mine traditional using a little onion.
I used my food processor’s shredding blade to make quick work of the potatoes (after the long work of peeling them).
Into the oil, getting nice and brown.
Crunchy and tasty!
