These look so yummy! 😍 I am German myself and never knew about the trick of using the potato starch instead of adding eggs. Such a great tip! Will definitely try it out myself
My first experience trying these was at a Brewery/restaurant called the Weeping Radish, in North Carolina. The man that runs the brewery, Uli, has a bunch of real German foods on his menu. The potato pancakes are a must, but I didn't know you ate them with either the applesauce or the sour cream sauce! I've been doing both for years, and they are awesome! I am definitely going to make these. Thank you!
Great job looks delicious! In my German family growing up instead of Apple sauce we used good grape jelly...the combination of sweet and savoury is awesome.
For squeezing excess water from raw shredded vegetables--if you have one, this is when a potato ricer comes in handy. The best nutmeg is grated only as needed, it's quite strong though. My mother also grew chives and Italian flat leaf parsley in the garden.
Oooh. My husband is German descent and my family is mostly Polish. I grew up eating latkes or potato pancakes. I’m going to try this variation with my boys. I will also likely add zucchini from the garden because it pairs well with potato pancakes and can easily go sweet or savory. Just subscribed! I love exploring cultures through food. Thanks for your videos. 💙
Really like your way of presentation, simplicity and humour. I would definitely prefer the yoghurt dip but I can also imagine how sweet and savoury can go well together. In India we do have sweet dips with spicy savoury fritters. Its all about balance.
I tell my non german friends that potato, onion and apples are how germans survived. Throw in some wurst and you can live forever. I have always loved applesauce that is chunky along with my potato pancakes my son would have is with eggs and friends love sour cream. Everyone is happy, I even taught my son's peruana wife how to make them. Flying when a metal grater was fun.
Another delicious variation of potato pancakes is as follows. Hot potato pancakes, some wild salmon on top, then some crème fraîche and cranberries. So delicious!
So many variations of these potato dishes in Germany. I like the one where you grate the potato very fine, spoon off the water, add some: flour, egg, salt, some grated onion, marjoram and parsley. Then fry the coarse lumpy batter in olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Apple sauce, a flavored sour cream or the sauce you made are all good. These can be served for any meal of the day. Now cheese clothe or a white tea towel is what I use to let the water drip out of a raw potato puree. That potato water if it is cooked, can be used to make... as a basis for potato bread. The potato starch and the potato water gives a finer texture to the yeast dough for making any bread.
@@DWFood Well the tip comes from mu German Grandmother's Cookbook, written about 1919 in Gothic Script. Back in those days people were taught to be self sufficient and not waste anything. I even have a way of using left over fats for making soaps and then using the soaps for cleaning. The wood ash was saved to make the lye, by running water through it and collecting the water to mix in a large cast iron pot with the left over fat.

in Poland we have recipe Grated potatoes grated onion mix with flour and eggs and fry golden colour ,very tasty ,some people eats with salt,pepper,or sugar ,however you want Its call ( placki ziemniaczane) Its similar i guess Its like flat potatoes pancakes but smaller in size
I made these potato pancakes for my elderly father. He was instantly transported back to his childhood: "THIS is how to make potato pancakes ! The edges should be crispy. Nowadays the restaurants grate the potatoes too finely."
OK, since this dish is basically a bread and butter in Eastern Europe, I will share the recipie which is probably 3 or 4 generations old. And trust me, it works and it works well. First of all to get best results use red potatoes, not white or yellow ones. Red ones tend to keep their shape and form best. Tested through many years of cooking. The use very thin grater. I am not sure that it even exists outside Eastern Europe, but I found similar stuff in Sweden as well. It's even more thinner than that thin cutter we all have and use for cheese. So the recipie is simple - grade 3 or 4 big potatoes, do not rinse or strain them after, u need all the starch. Then add curd, minced or grayed onion, 1 whole egg and salt/pepper to taste. And that's it. Use only sunflower oil, preferably the one that still have the smell and taste. I has a lower smoke point but it is so worth to use it for aroma. Fry pancakes in that oil and serve with sourcream mixed with fill, salt and pepper. That's it. U can throw some smoked salmon on top if you are feeling fancy
I prefer to use washed potatoes and leave the skin on for more potato flavor. I like that you used the potato starch version and not with eggs, also suitable for vegans then.
@@Fritz-The-Cat ....my neighbors from the Philippines ran a good size air purifier during and after deep frying. A fan in an open window may help, weather permitting.
Kartoffelpuffer and Reibekuchen are not the same thing. Reibekuchen is much closer to the Swiss Rösti, with a rather coarse texture, wheras Kartoffelpuffer are made with a smooth potato batter, just like pancakes.
You are soooo Deutsch lol The humor, the "let's get this frying up in the pan with a DECENT amount of oil" and then pours like 2 tbsp of oil lol I'm Asian and after watching Hash brown recipes, I was expecting like half a bottle of oil lol silly me!
Use white onion *produces brown onion* Dont use to much lemon as the granny smith apples were using are already acidic "produces royal gala like apple*
In Germany, they are called white onions, because they are white inside, in contrast to red onions, which are red inside. I had to cringe at the Granny Smith as well.
@@thehodge168 Silver onions. And small ones: pearl onions. But to be precise: I, personally, call the brown onions just onions, and use those, if a recipe just says onions.
@sonas p Waxy potatoes are actually not that floury. They are high in moisture and quite low in starch. New potatoes for example are usually quite *waxy* with a nice "potato flavour". 😋🥔🥔🥔
@@DWFood thank you for replying. ive been looking for a recipe like this after trying some at Christmas german markets. They come with different flavours of sauces. Apple being one and a garlic cream sauce too (my fave).
@@zyzyzx3352 German restaurants are not that popular like Italian restaurants, but you find them usually wherever you find German expats. I'm German and live on a Malaysian island. Not many Germans here, but we got a small German restaurant and pub
Have you ever tried German potato pancakes? You can find the recipe in the video description 🙂
I can’t see the link? :/
My German Mum used to make these ,every wednesday.Without the apple tho,I will try that.She was an excellent cook.

I like a mixture of sour cream with horseradish and a pinch of salt. So good.
I will have to try your savory version though, it looks very good.
Sour cream and horseradish! What an idea!
Looks so good
Yeah you can keep this recipe
I made these potato pancakes for my elderly father. He was instantly transported back to his childhood: "THIS is how to make potato pancakes ! The edges should be crispy. Nowadays the restaurants grate the potatoes too finely."

@Vygantas Zvi... Thanks for the recipe, sounds quite delicious! This will certainly go well with some dill and onion rings..
as a german i definitely prefer the apple sauce
Where do you get that grater. It is so much better than the rectangle four sided thing I have. May not lose so many knuckles. Danke sehr. Wunderbahr.
@Barbara James Search for "Cheese Grater Box", or "Grater with Container" and you'll find one. 🥔👍
Thanks, I found it!
I think IKEA sold one like that.
How much potatoes did you use? Looks delicious 🥰
Fantastic recipe, but when you move ingredients from a board with your knife, use blunt side please - Chef
What if any is the difference between Kartoffelpuffer and Latke?
I’m going to have to make these 🇬🇧
My grandma served them with applesauce, and sour cream on the side.
So its hashbrowns with apples, lovely.
Only whis Apple Sauce. Jummy🇩🇪

Red salad or early rose.

Or as we say in Hesse: Hatscheln
When an Indian aaloo ka paratha goes to Germany for higher education 🤣🤣
Does anyone see the cameraman? Lol.
Where did you spot them?😏
My family will do more of a sour cream and it goes well with the apple purée

No, not even close.
Wow, we call them "deruny" in Ukraine 🤤
What did Germans do before potatoes came from the Americas?
@Andrew Gnys Mostly cereals in the form of porridge, groats or bread.
I guess the same as everybody else before the Americas were stolen from the people who live there.

you have no business in a kitchen.
,,German Potato Pancakes'' now everything is German ??? there is like 7 other countries can say same s .It looks like you invented potato by itself .
Actually, many Germans probably wish they had invented the potato! 😋
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
Sorry about that :(

So much faffing around and nothing modest about this “humble” dish.
At least the Irish know what to do with a potato... boil it, eat it and shut up.
What an utter arse you are, credit to your people.
Why the horrid Critish accent?
I hope your German is without accent 😉
