My Granddaddy’s Favorite German Potato Pancakes, Inexpensive And Extremely Delicious!

This is the true Potato Pancake (not Latke). We usually serve them on a Friday night (especially during Lent) with potato soup, bread and butter, the pancake topped with the traditional granulated sugar with applesauce on the side. We are a German/Polish family. Leftovers were taken in sandwiches with butter, salt and pepper for lunch. Don’t fret about the discoloration…it is a part of the pancake and never noticed after fried up. When 5 pounds of potatoes are grated by hand for a large family, the discoloration is not a problem.Don’t spend a lot of time and trouble drying out the potatoes, just drain in a colander and the flour takes care of the rest. If a little drains from the pancake in the fry pan, it will just add a nice crispiness to the edge. ENJOY. Our family has for over 100 years.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups coarsely shredded peeled potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • Pinch of pepper

How To Make German Pancake For Dinner

These are the Real Deal Authentic German Pancakes. The recipe below was shared with my grandpa by a visitor from Germany many years ago and these pancakes are delicious; light and eggy with delicate, crispy edges. Resembling French-style crepes but a little thicker and with a bit more tang thanks to the addition of buttermilk.

The recipe was recorded in a family journal that my grandfather started a few years after my grandmother died back in the 80’s. He initially meant for the journal to be used to record events that happened and sometimes would catalog repairs or projects going on at the time. He wrote in all capital letters that the family recognized as ‘Grandpa-style’ because he was known to yell a lot. Not to be terse or mean, but to make sure we all knew how important what he was telling us was.
German Pancakes are easy to make but they are a little delicate to handle. After mixing the simple list of ingredients, melt a nice amount of real butter on a heated non-stick surface. I’ve used skillets, cast iron camp griddles, and electric griddles, all with success.

Ingredients:

  • Real butter for frying
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup buttermilk
