German Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes: After grating the potatoes, place them in a clean cloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of oil over medium-high heat.
4. Fry the Pancakes: Using a spoon, drop the mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Drain and Serve: Remove the pancakes and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with applesauce or sour cream.
