A great basic recipe for the great potato cakes that are revered during the Christmas Markets in the Rheinland-Pfalz region of Germany. Try adding a little bit of mixed herbs to taste. The best way and the traditional way to serve is with the apfelmus(plain apple sauce) for dipping. Yum!! Schmeckt gut!

seems my review did not go through so trying again. This was delicious. I also just used cooking spray to fry them in and the mashed potatoes really made a great consistency for the whole.

These are very nice potato pancakes. I particulary like the way they hold together when frying (and I used very little oil - just used a coating of spray). I think it must be the clever use of a mashed potato in the mix. Thanks so much for sharing!

This was a bit more work than I had planned on but the outcome was pretty good. Next time I'll make them smaller, cook on a lower heat, and cook them for longer. I found that some of the shredded potatoes were not completely cooked in mine. Daughter loved them and ate most of what was on the plate! I believe the prep time should be extended to 30 minutes...maybe it was just me, but by the time you peel and cook the first bit of potato and start on the remainder of the recipe it takes longer than 15 minutes. Thanks for posting this Kim, I'll try them again and perhaps add some onion and more salt (plus pepper).
