German potato pancakes with apple sauce

Dieser Beitrag ist auch verfügbar auf: Deutsch

In this post I’ll show you a simple recipe for classic potato fritters with applesauce. You only need a few ingredients, a grater and a deep pan.

I look back so fondly on the days when mom and grandma had juicy, thick potato pancakes with fresh applesauce. I used to be less interested in the fact that the whole house smelled of fried fat for days. Today it is surprising that the smell of fat that lasts for days often prevents me from making these delicious patties more often.

Nonetheless, every year of the jubilee it gets to the point that the smell of fat can’t keep me from my cravings for potato pancakes. Then all you have to do is peel the potatoes, close the doors, open all the windows wide and reach for the hot fat. How good that the dough for my potato pancakes is prepared super quickly and the whole procedure does not take longer than 45 minutes.

In the end, it is up to you whether you serve the potato pancakes with applesauce, beet juice or creme fraiche and salmon. Personally, I like it best soaked in lots of applesauce, but in the end that’s probably a matter of taste.
