Kartoffelpuffer are traditional German potato pancakes made from leftover mashed potatoes mixed with flour, egg, and onions, then pan-fried to golden perfection. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, these savory pancakes make a perfect snack, side dish, or appetizer.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

Potato Pancake Mixture

  • 1 ½ cups leftover mashed potatoes (adjust quantity based on available potatoes)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Frying

  • 2-3 tablespoons butter (for frying, add more as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Whisk the egg, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together until smooth. Stir this mixture into the mashed potatoes along with the minced onion until thoroughly combined.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt a couple of tablespoons of butter, ensuring the pan is evenly coated for frying.
  3. Form and cook pancakes: Scoop about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture per pancake into the skillet without crowding them. Let cook for about 1 minute before gently flipping each pancake over.
  4. Press and brown: Using the back of your spatula, gently press the pancakes to approximately ¾ inch thickness. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on this side until golden brown, then flip again to finish browning the other side.
  5. Drain excess oil: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Serve the Kartoffelpuffer warm as a delicious snack or side dish with your favorite accompaniments.

Notes

  • Use leftover mashed potatoes for best texture; fresh boiled potatoes can be substituted but drain well.
  • You can customize seasonings with herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor.
  • Serve with applesauce, sour cream, or smoked salmon for traditional German accompaniments.
  • Adjust frying fat for a lighter version by using oil instead of butter or baking in the oven.
  • Ensure pancakes are not crowded in the pan to achieve crispiness.
