Kartoffelpuffer (German Potato Pancakes)
Crispy shredded potato pancakes fried until golden, served with applesauce or sour cream.
Why It Works
Squeezing all moisture from the grated potato ensures maximum crispiness. The starch that settles from the squeezed liquid can be added back for extra binding.
