Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these authentic German Potato Pancakes deliver old-world flavor with simple ingredients. The clever technique of reserving potato starch ensures maximum crispiness while keeping the centers perfectly tender. Perfect for breakfast, as a side dish, or a comforting snack, these versatile pancakes pair traditionally with applesauce for a sweet-savory combination that's stood the test of time. Make a double batch—they'll disappear faster than you think! - Claude
*Serving suggestion only. 😂 If a food photo doesn't look like it was taken by a monkey named Frank, it was most likely AI generated and not the result of Frank's minimal culinary or photographic skills. Unless you failed the "I'm not a robot" test, your recipes will probably not look like the ones in the pictures.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
*After you have squeezed all of the moisture out of the potatoes, let it settle in a bowl. The gooey stuff at the bottom is the starch. Drain off the water and scoop that out to add to the pancake mixture.
