Reibekuchen Recipe
(German Hash Browns)


This Reibekuchen recipe, for a sort of German hash browns or potato pancake, is the one I uncovered that most closely resembled the deliciously crispy and chewy treats served at most winter festivals and Christmas Markets in throughout Germany and Austria. They work well as a side dish, but are commonly served on there own with a side of apple sauce, cranberry sauce, or another fruit preserve.

Be sure to get some of the excess moisture out of the grates potatoes prior to adding the egg and flour, as this helps ensure a crispy crust. If the mixture is to watery, the Reibekuchen will tend to turn out a bit on the floppy side. They will still taste great, but will not have that nice snap to them that I like so much.

Although often served as a finger food at markets and fairs, Reibekuchen are quite greasy, so I would suggest not letting any little ones eat them as finger food anywhere near your nice upholstery.
