Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy German Potato Pancakes
- Peel and grate 2 large russet potatoes, then squeeze out excess moisture using a towel.
- Finely chop and mix in 1 medium onion with the grated potatoes.
- Beat 2 large eggs in a separate bowl, then combine with the potato mixture, adding 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 0.25 cup vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet to form pancakes, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with toppings like sour cream or applesauce.

Notes
For the crispiest pancakes, ensure grated potatoes are as dry as possible, and cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
