Ingredients

  • potato1000 g
  • onion3 pcs
  • egg3 pcs
  • parsley15 g
  • wheat flour2 tbsp
  • ground nutmeg1 pinch
  • salt1 to taste
  • black pepper (ground)1 to taste
  • sunflower oil250 ml
  • apple purée200 g

Instructions

1

Peel the potatoes, rinse them, and grate on a coarse grater. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out very well to remove as much liquid as possible.

2

Grate the onion finely or chop it very finely, and mince the parsley. Add them to the potatoes along with the eggs.

3

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper and nutmeg, stir in the flour, and mix thoroughly. The mixture should be thick and hold its shape; don't add extra flour.

4

Pour sunflower oil into a wide skillet so it fully coats the bottom, and heat over medium heat.

5

With wet hands or a spoon, shape small flat patties and carefully place them in the oil, without overcrowding the skillet.

6

Fry the pancakes for 2–3 minutes on each side until evenly golden brown with crispy edges.

7

Transfer the finished gromperekichelcher to paper towels to absorb excess oil, and keep warm in the oven at 90°C if frying in batches.

8

Serve hot with applesauce; traditionally, they can also be sprinkled with extra salt.
