There’s nothing quite like German Potato Pancakes—known as Kartoffelpuffer—to turn humble potatoes into something extraordinary. Shredded raw potatoes, onions, and egg fried until lacy-crisp on the outside, tender within, these savory pancakes are a beloved staple of German cuisine, often served at Christmas markets, family suppers, and Oktoberfest celebrations.

Served hot with applesauce or sour cream, they’re comforting, nostalgic, and surprisingly easy to make at home. And the best part? Only 6 ingredients—and ready in 30 minutes!
