Recipe of the potato pancakes
It is one of Germany’s magical dishes that looks tastes similar to the latkes, but the difference is that you don’t need to boil the vegetable or need to add baking soda to it. For this potato pancake, you need to have onion, garlic, egg, and, most importantly, the potato. The steps you need to follow for making the potato pancakes are as follows;
- In the first step, you need to grate the onion and vegetables. Do not shred them because it will make them even fluffier.
- After the grating part, you need to squeeze out all the water from the potato by pressing it with your hands. You can add some flour to it to have a tackier texture, as it will help you get the best texture of the potato pancakes.
- Now, add the cake to the pan and stir it up until you get the texture. The flour will help the cake not breakdown and give you a crispier golden crust.
You can even add the cheese or bacon according to your taste, but it destroys the classic taste of the dish you want to enjoy.
