German Potato Pancakes

These easy, crispy potato pancakes are pure comfort food! They aren't traditional breakfast pancakes, though, and are meant to be eaten as a side dish to whatever meat you fix for dinner. We especially like them with bratwurst or kielbasa - yum!
Ingredients
- 2 medium-large russet potatoes shopping list
- 1 small onion shopping list
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten shopping list
- about 1/4 C. flour (more or less) shopping list
- salt and pepper, to taste shopping list
- Vegetable or canola oil for frying shopping list
How to make it
- Peel and shred the potatoes on the large holes of your box grater. Place the shreds in a bowl of COLD water while you shred the onion. Drain the potatoes thoroughly, squeezing out as much water as possible so the potatoes are as dry as possible. Mix in onion and eggs. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Heat about 1/4-inch of oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Drop batter by large spoonfuls (I use a serving spoon) and quickly spread out and flatten into pancake shape (not too thin, though, as they should be a little thick and not as flat as a regular breakfast pancake). Don’t put in too many at once; they take up a lot of room once they’re flattened. Fry until bottoms are golden. Turn and fry the other side. Drain well on a paper towel-lined large plate. Serve immediately with applesauce.
- Note: The amounts of the ingredients can easily be adjusted to make as few or as many pancakes as you want. I get 5-6 pancakes out of the above amounts, depending on how big I make them.
