Ingredients You’ll Need

- Eggs
- Flour (or matzo meal for a traditional touch)
- Salt and pepper
- Oil or butter (for frying)
How to Make German Potato Pancakes
- Grate the potatoes and onion: Use a box grater or food processor to grate the potatoes and onion finely. Drain excess moisture to keep the pancakes crispy.
- Mix the batter: Combine grated potatoes and onion with eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
- Fry to golden perfection: Heat oil or butter in a skillet, then spoon the batter into hot oil, flattening slightly. Fry until crispy and golden on both sides.
