German Potato Pancake Recipe

A different type of German potato pancake. Reiberdatschi as they are known in Bavaria or Kartoffelpuffer are a type of potato pancake. More like a hash brown potato recipe but delicious served with apple sauce or compote. Alternatively you can serve a creamy chive sauce.

For a more fruity pancake chop up a ripe pear or apples into cubes and mix with the grated potato.

Easy Potato Pancakes


500g waxy potatoes
2 egg yolks
salt and pepper
freshly grated nutmeg
2 dessert spoons oil

Makes approx 8-10 pancakes

Wash and peel the potatoes and grate finely. Squeeze the grated potato with your hands to remove the excess water and starch. Place in a bowl and then mix with the egg yolks. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Heat a little oil in a pan. Take spoonfuls of the mixture and place in the pan and flatten with the back of a spoon to make little pancakes of about 6-7cm in circumference. Brown the underneath for about 2 minutes until golden brown, turn over and repeat on the other side. Remove the Reiberdatschi and drain on some kitchen paper ro remove any excess oil. Make the remaining pancakes.
