Ingredients

  • 450 g potatoes (type B or C)
  • 350 g sauerkraut
  • 100 g pork cracklings
  • 60 g fine flour
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 pcs eggs
  • 4 tablespoons lard for frying
  • 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
  • 2 teaspoons ground caraway
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Steps

  • 1
    Peel and finely grate the potatoes, then thoroughly squeeze out any excess moisture. Also squeeze the sauerkraut and let it drain in a colander. Peel and crush the garlic. Finely chop the pork cracklings. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients except the fat for frying.
  • 2
    Heat the lard in a pan over medium heat. Place 2 tablespoon portions of the mixture into the pan and form them into patties approximately 7 cm in diameter. Fry both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the finished potato pancakes to a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess fat.
  • 3
    Serve the potato pancakes on their own, with sour cream, or as a side dish with roasted meats or smoked pork neck.
