2006-11-12 Kartoffelpuffer 001, originally uploaded by Turtlepace.
An old standby from my mom, Kartoffelpuffer (Latkes). I believe my mom cheated, she made them from a mix in a box. My kids like them, but I rarely made them as I don't have time to grate a kilo of potatoes and I hate anything made from mixes.
Well, I finally (after looking on the Buy and Sell and more recently on Craigslist for about 3 years!) found a used Cuisinart food processor complete with slicing and grating discs. I have used the wonder machine everyday since. Yesterday, to the joy of my children, I grated/shredded potatoes for latkes. Served with apple sauce they were a big hit.
Ingredients:
- 1kg potatoes, peeled and grated
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup of flour
- tsp salt
Mix ingredients. Place about two tablespoon fulls of the mixture in a frying pan with hot oil. Pat flat. You can fry several latkes at the smae time if you are using a large pan. Fry on medium to high heat until edges are crispy, then turn latkes over and fry the other side. Place on paper towel when done to drain oil. Keep warm on a plate in oven until all latkes are ready. Serve with apple sauce.
