Kartoffelpuffer mit Apfelmus

Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 cup apple sauce
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes and onion. Grate them using a box grater or food processor until finely shredded.

2. 2

   Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onion, flour, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

4. 4

   Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5. 5

   Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the potato mixture and form it into a patty. Carefully place it into the hot oil.

6. 6

   Cook each pancake for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side.

7. 7

   Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.

8. 8

   Serve the Kartoffelpuffer hot with a generous dollop of apple sauce and a side of sour cream. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
