Ingredients

500g (1 lb, 2 oz) potatoes

1 onion

1 egg

Oil or lard 

Preparation

Peel and grate the potatoes. Then press the grated potatoes, removing the greatest amount of liquid possible. Mix the potato with the egg and the chopped onion. Heat the oil and pour two spoonfuls of the mixture into a tortilla shape and then deep fry. In Germany, it is often garnished with apple sauce. Depending on the region, one spoonful of flour is sometimes added. You can also try adding breadcrumbs and herbs.

Guten Appetit!
