Easy Blender
German Potato Pancake Recipe

This German Potato Pancake Recipe originated in my kitchen after I had scraped my knuckles grating potatoes. Everyone loved the pancakes, but I had to find easier (and safer) potato pancake recipes.




Out came the blender, and the following recipe developed. Best of all, no more scraped knuckles!

The quantities need not be exact and can be changed according to your taste. Onions are optional. Amount of flour is dependent on how 'juicy' the potatoes are. Add just enough until the consistency of the batter is not too runny.

The original pancakes have 'shreds' of potatoes. Try to duplicate this with the blender; do not take it to a 'smoothie' consistency. You may need to practice this a few times to decide at what point to stop blending. The practice is worth it, though. These pancakes taste that good!

The traditional German recipe calls for peeling the potatoes. Keeping the skin on, though, is healthier. Do whichever you like. I opt for keeping the skin on, especially if they are new potatoes -- not only healthier, but easier too!

PS: Please use butter -- oil will work -- but you can't beat the butter flavor!
