Potato Cakes make a great side dish, but can also be a nice option for a snack or brunch. I first tried them while visiting a Christmas German Market and I could not stop eating them! They are just great crunchy and full of flavor!
Germans usually serve them with some applesauce on the side and I know that kids just love them!
Ingredients:
- 3-4 potatoes peeled
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
- Grate the raw potatoes, place them in a clean dishcloth and squeeze the liquid out of them on top of a bowl. Let the liquid stand for a couple of minutes so that the potato starch settles in the bottom of the bowl, drain the liquid not the starch and add the potatoes to it.
- Mix the onions with the potatoes and add the rest of the ingredients, let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Heat the oil on a frying pan.
- Using a measurement 1/2 cup, drip the mix in the oil and flatten with the back of a spoon.
- Fry 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Tip: you could sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top to add a more Christmasy touch.
