German grated potato dish - rudda dutches - spelling probably not correct?

Answer 1

Reibekuchen, perhaps? German potato pancakes made with grated potatoes.

Ingredients



5 lbs white potatoes

4 medium yellow onions

4 eggs

1 tbsp salt, or to taste

sunflower oil or other neutral oil for frying

Directions  

Coarsely grate potatoes and onions (a food processor saves a great deal of time).

Salt the potato mixture to taste.

Drain salted grated potatoes and onions in a sieve or colander, trying to reserve as much potato starch as possible. Discard liquid.

Mix in eggs.

Pour in just enough oil to cover the bottom of a nonstick frying pan.

Place the pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten.

Cook until golden-brown, approximately 3 minutes, depending on the stove. Flip and cook until the other side is also browned and crisp.

Drain on a paper towel covered plate and keep warm in the oven.

Replenish oil and repeat until all the batter is gone. Avoid using any liquid that accumulates in the bottom of the bowl

Biggies receipt is ok. But .... if you press the water of the dough the potatoe pancake is less tasty. To prevent this thicken the dough with flour or potatoe starch.

We here in Hamburg normaly eat potatoe pancake with applesauce, but there are a lot of add ons even caviar.
