Kartoffelpuffer

Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes, scrubbed
• 1 large onion
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• cooking oil or bacon fat
• Sour cream/applesauce/honey for dipping (optional)

Directions

1. Grate potatoes and onion. Stir in eggs, flour and salt immediately.
2. Press liquid out of mixture via a strainer, dry with a paper towel.
3. In preheated electric frying pan (350 F)or frying pan over medium high stove-top, add cooking oil or bacon fat–about 2 T per batch.
4. Using a one/third-cup metal measuring cup, scoop up some potato-onion mixture, and spread in a circle in the pan. Flatten out a bit, to about a 5-inch thin cake. Fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden-brown and crispy around edges.
5. Transfer cakes to a warm plate or keep warm in the oven. Best when served immediately.
6. Serve with applesauce, honey, or butter with salt & pepper.
