edpaffjr.comThis past Saturday friends of our decided to host an Oktoberfest party. They provided their handmade brats, and everyone else brought along a German side. While researching my options, I realized that either Germans eat a ton of potatoes, or we Americans think they do. Either way I decided to make potato pancakes based on this recipe. The prep work wasn’t too bad, but cooking well over thirty pancakes took some time. The recipe said to cook each side for about three minutes, but I found it was closer to four minutes. At the suggestion of a few reviewers, I added parsley to the ingredients, but followed everything else exactly. I wish I would have taken a picture of my creations, but they looked a lot like this.
Other items at the party included German potato salad, fries, sauerkraut, and even some home-brewed Hefeweizen! It was all so good, and the potato pancakes were a hit as well. Prost!
