Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

  2. 2

    Add Onion

    Grate the onion and mix it with the grated potatoes in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add flour, egg, salt, and pepper to the potato and onion mixture. Stir well until everything is combined.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Reibekuchen

    Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and shape it into a small patty. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, place the Reibekuchen on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot, optionally with applesauce and sour cream.
