My German Mum used to make these, every wednesday.Without the apple tho, I will try that.She was an excellent cook.

These look so yummy! 😍 I am German myself and never knew about the trick of using the potato starch instead of adding eggs. Such a great tip! Will definitely try it out myself

I'm German and found this video looking for a recipe in English for my Indian friend in Dubai. Thanks for it!

For squeezing excess water from raw shredded vegetables--if you have one, this is when a potato ricer comes in handy. The best nutmeg is grated only as needed, it's quite strong though. My mother also grew chives and Italian flat leaf parsley in the garden.

I tell my non german friends that potato, onion and apples are how germans survived. Throw in some wurst and you can live forever. I have always loved applesauce that is chunky along with my potato pancakes my son would have is with eggs and friends love sour cream. Everyone is happy, I even taught my son's peruana wife how to make them. Flying when a metal grater was fun.

Oooh. My husband is German descent and my family is mostly Polish. I grew up eating latkes or potato pancakes. I’m going to try this variation with my boys. I will also likely add zucchini from the garden because it pairs well with potato pancakes and can easily go sweet or savory. Just subscribed! I love exploring cultures through food. Thanks for your videos. 💙

My first experience trying these was at a Brewery/restaurant called the Weeping Radish, in North Carolina. The man that runs the brewery, Uli, has a bunch of real German foods on his menu. The potato pancakes are a must, but I didn't know you ate them with either the applesauce or the sour cream sauce! I've been doing both for years, and they are awesome! I am definitely going to make these. Thank you!

Great job looks delicious! In my German family growing up instead of Apple sauce we used good grape jelly...the combination of sweet and savoury is awesome.

Really like your way of presentation, simplicity and humour. I would definitely prefer the yoghurt dip but I can also imagine how sweet and savoury can go well together. In India we do have sweet dips with spicy savoury fritters. Its all about balance.

Another delicious variation of potato pancakes is as follows. Hot potato pancakes, some wild salmon on top, then some crème fraîche and cranberries. So delicious!

So many variations of these potato dishes in Germany. I like the one where you grate the potato very fine, spoon off the water, add some: flour, egg, salt, some grated onion, marjoram and parsley. Then fry the coarse lumpy batter in olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Apple sauce, a flavored sour cream or the sauce you made are all good. These can be served for any meal of the day.
Now cheese clothe or a white tea towel is what I use to let the water drip out of a raw potato puree. That potato water if it is cooked, can be used to make... as a basis for potato bread. The potato starch and the potato water gives a finer texture to the yeast dough for making any bread.

in Poland we have recipe
Grated potatoes grated onion mix with flour and eggs and fry golden colour, very tasty, some people eats with salt, pepper, or sugar, however you want
Its call ( placki ziemniaczane)
Its similar i guess
Its like flat potatoes pancakes but smaller in size

I just had to comment, my Oma ( and Mother) made this for me when I was a child. It’s delicious! Oma also fried a pork chop with it. So very good 🌺

[alexandraguillen]

Ich dachte es wăhre Boris Becker. Thanks I love it with apfel Mus!!!

[junomonroe]

I like a mixture of sour cream with horseradish and a pinch of salt. So good.
I will have to try your savory version though, it looks very good.

[asknnlezzetmutfag]

Süper bir tarif olmuş arkadaşım.👏👏👌👌👍👍😋

[truthofthematter]

My grandma served them with applesauce, and sour cream on the side.

Fantastic recipe, but when you move ingredients from a board with your knife, use blunt side please - Chef
