Potato Pancakes


My hometown has food festivals all year round.  One around Easter, another in summer, and a third in October.  Foods celebrate the various ethnics cuisines, Mexican, German, Polish, and Cajun to name just a short few.  One of my favorite October festival foods are potato pancakes.  They were to die for. I'd eat two or three servings with cold, cold applesauce and just a hint of cinnamon.  German Kartoffelpuffer (Potato Pancakes) seemed like the perfect example of memories.

Modifications Made:
A teaspoon of cinnamon and a tablespoon of sugar were added to the batter.

Scaled for Likability: Great
The pancakes needed to be a little thinner to maintain a nice crunch all the way through but the flavor and texture of the potatoes were spot on.  If I would make one tip to any new makers, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze the potatoes dry.
