Potato Pancakes

"I think this recipe came from a German Heritage cookbook, from Fredericksburg,Texas. Grating the potatoes takes the longest time as I like them grated by hand. Try these, they are yummy!"

directions

  • Grate the potatoes, put in a large bowl of ice water.
  • In another bowl add eggs, finely-chopped onion, flour and salt.
  • Pour the water off the potatoes and place on paper towels, squeezing excess water out.
  • Add potatoes to the egg mixture.
  • Heat the butter, and use a 1/4 cup of potato batter for each pancake, brown good on both sides. This takes some patience.

  1. Sharon, I am so glad I tried these. They were wonderful and reminded me of the ones my mom would make when I was a kid. They were easy to prepare, the directions were perfect and the taste is just what I wanted. We were eating them up while I was cooking the next batch. Thanks so much for a great recipe and thanks for letting the girls from the Stella Maris "use" you for our treasure hunt!!!!
     
  2. Delicious and easy to make. I used seasoned salts and added fresh ground black pepper. These are just like my mom used to make. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks!
