Ingredients
  • 2 medium-sized non-mealy potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 TBS melted butter
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Clarified butter or oil and butter for frying

Directions
  1. Peel and grate potatoes into a small bowl.
  2. Fill the bowl with very cold or ice water; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together remaining ingredients until smooth. (Use 1/2 C flour at first, reserving the rest to use at need.)
  4. Chop the onion finely.
  5. Drain the grated potatoes and squeeze them dry in a dish towel.
  6. Add potatoes and onion to liquid and mix well. If quite runny, add more flour.
  7. Heat a griddle and grease it with either clarified butter or 1/2 oil, 1/2 butter. You want the butter flavor but it should not burn.
  8. Measure out 1/4 cup batter for each Laibchen. Press down with the back of a spoon and spread it out to flatten it a bit.
  9. Fry about 3-4 minutes or until brown; flip and cook other side.
  10. The first ones keep well on a platter in a very slow oven until the rest are done.
  11. You can also make a double recipe, freeze after cooking and reheat in a a 350° oven as needed.
