A German home dish made by mixing grated raw potato with flour and egg, then frying flat. Depending on the region, it's known by different names like "Reibekuchen" or "Reiberdatschi," though the method is essentially the same. A classic at Christmas market stalls, whether to top it with sweet applesauce or savory sour cream varies by region and personal preference. The crisp exterior and chewy interior are the main appeal.
Grate the potato and onion, and squeeze out the excess liquid firmly.
Add egg and flour to a bowl, mix well, and season with salt.
Heat plenty of oil in a pan, scoop the batter with a ladle, and spread flat.
Fry both sides until golden and crisp.
Drain and plate.
Top with applesauce or sour cream to finish, as desired.
