Crisp-edged, golden potato pancakes with a soft, almost creamy center — Reibekuchen are Germany’s favorite way to use up a bag of potatoes. Grated potato and onion are squeezed dry, bound with egg and fried until shatteringly crisp.
They’re a fall and winter market classic, served piping hot with a big spoonful of applesauce. The contrast of salty, savory pancake and sweet sauce is pure magic.
