How To Make potato pancakes - kartoffelpletter

  • Step 1
    Cook the potatoes in their jackets, in a pot of boiling water, until just tender. Drain and cool slightly.
  • Step 2
    Peel potatoes, add salt and mash while warm.
  • Step 3
    Work the flours into the mashed potatoes, a little at a time with egg whites. Knead the dough well. (You may have to use more or less flour).
  • Step 4
    Divide dough into eight pieces and roll each piece on a lightly floured board into a thin round cake.
  • Step 5
    Cook on both sides on a greased griddle over medium-low heat until done. Watch them closely to keep them from burning.
  • Step 6
    Serve with toppings of your choice.
