Ingredients:
Potatoes (1 lb, peeled and grated)
1 small onion, ready for chopping action
1 adventurous egg
Flour (3 tablespoons)
Some salt and pepper magic
Vegetable oil for frying
Toppings galore: think apple sauce, sour cream, or even sauerkraut
Sides: Did someone say green salad or sauerkraut?
How to Whip it Up:
Start by peeling and grating your potatoes. Get rid of that extra water with a good ol' kitchen towel squeeze.
Chop up that onion and introduce it to your potatoes. They're about to become BFFs.
Grab a bowl, whisk the egg, add in flour, salt, and pepper, and stir till it’s silky smooth.
Now, marry the egg mixture with the potato-onion duo. They’re going to be so happy together.
Get that skillet hot and oily! Then, take a spoonful of the potato mix, drop it in, and flatten it out.
Let them fry until they’re golden and crispy (about 3-4 mins each side). Then let them chill on a paper towel.
Serve 'em while they're hot and add your favorite toppings and sides.
Pro-tip: You can keep them warm in the oven if you're not ready to dive in just yet. Got leftovers? No worries! Just reheat them when you're craving more.
To wrap it up, Kartoffelpuffer is pretty much love at first bite. It’s a delightful mix of crispy, fluffy, and downright delicious. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these are always a good idea. Happy cooking and Guten Appetit! 🍽️
