These were good. I put my potatoes into salted water to keep them from changing color. Make sure you get all the water out if you do that. These are a tad bit puffy, like pancakes, but only a tiny bit. I liked the texture.

This is pretty much exactly how I make them which is how my father taught me which was the recipe he got in Germany from his grandmother which she got from ... well you get the idea. Very basic ingredients, you can see why this is such an ancient dish. I make a big stack for dinner, it's a family favorite. You can garnish with either apple sauce or sour cream. The only problem with this recipe is that she doesn't mention squeezing out the water after the potato and onion have been grated. This is key. Then might need a bit less flour, try 1/4 cup. I also add a couple of large cloves of minced garlic. These are really scrumptuous.

My dad used to make these when I was young. They are just as yummy as I remember. They taste wonderful dipped in a little sour cream! Everyone loved them. Thanks for sharing!

These were very good. Very similar to the ones that I make. I would suggest to anyone else making these to drain as much of the liquid off as possible before cooking them. These are very crisp and tender, just the way we like them. Thanks for sharing.
