Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Classic German Kartoffelpuffer
- Begin by peeling and finely grating three large russet potatoes and one small yellow onion. Let the mixture drain slightly.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat two eggs and add two minced cloves of garlic, mixing well.
- Drain the potato and onion mixture to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Combine the drained mixture with the beaten eggs and garlic, and add all-purpose flour and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Heat 3-4 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Scoop 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the mixture and gently place it in the hot oil. Flatten slightly and fry for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the potato pancake carefully and cook for another 3-5 minutes until equally golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately.
