German Potato Pancakes

Step 1

Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, eggs, flour, pepper, salt, chopped onion, and baking powder. Knead with your hands until fully combined.

Step 2

Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Shape the pancakes: Scoop ¼ cup portions of the potato mixture and shape them into pancakes.

Step 4

Fry until golden: Add the pancakes to the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Drain & serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream or applesauce.
