German-Style Crisp Potato Pancakes

I good use of mashed potatoes and a side for our Schnitzel. I really liked the caraway seed flavor. Only made half a recipe but we still have some leftover.

What a great combination of flavors! I've enjoyed fried mashed potatoes since I was a kid, usually if I doctor them it's with cheese and garlic, the caraway and onion was different and delicious! I was cooking for one and didn't have leftover potatoes, so nuked a potato then added light cream and butter and went from there. I skipped the egg, but it held together fine, and didn't have any parsley on hand so left that out too. I'll be making this again, thank for sharing Cookgirl!

Yum. I've tried other potato pancakes with mashed potatoes, but these were the best ones yet. I used leftovers from Kartoffelpuree Meerrettich (Mashed Potatoes With Horseradish Cre. I also needed to add extra flour, and even with that they were a little sticky, but other than getting them off the spoon it didn't pose a problem and they came out moist and delicious. Thanks for a lovely recipe.

These were good. I did find the mixture too sticky so I added extra flour but that may be due to using yellow potatoes like another reviewer who noted the same thing. I also used a gluten free rice flour mix (for every cup white rice flour 1/2 a cup tapioca starch) I did not add milk but added extra butter into the potatoes and fried them in a good unrefined olive oil with mainly butter. I used a brown egg, sea salt and served them with sour cream and a corn free ketchup. 2 out of three preferred the ketchup.

Very tasty! I did use regular and black caraway! I used leftover potatoes from recipe #130251 that I mashed. Thanks for posting!

I made these today for a Chrismas get together. I served them with beef tenderloin sandwhichs. They were excellent. This was the first time my husband had potato pancakes. He loved them. I did not use the caraway seeds and I had to increase the flour. I think that my mashed potatoes were a little softer because I used yukon golds so they needed more flour to stiffen them up.

Great recipe! I just can't go caraway seeds - smell or taste or texture - sorry. Most recipes I've seen today have 'em. This s a great treatment for potatoes (minus the seeds, please). Extremely yummy!

Cookgirl, in a word.....scrumptious! The lemon and caraway seeds really lift these pancakes to great heights. I doubled the onion, and cooked the pancakes in a mixture of olive oil and butter, but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. Next time, along with the sour cream, I will offer chopped cilantro as a garnish. Thanks for posting!

This recipe is terrific & indestructible! In my haste to make it & w/o pause for thought, I whipped up a batch of instant mashed potatoes & soon saw that doesn't work. BUT I tasted the batter & loved the lemon & caraway flavor! Unwilling to give up, I added flour + 1 tsp baking powder till I had true pancake batter consistency. Voila! Potato pancake flapjacks my DH said he wants all the time! The downside? I'll never be able to duplicate them, so will make the real ones next time. Thx. :-)

Delicious and easy potato pancakes....what more could a girl ask for??? Cookgirl these are so good. I had a container of Country Crock mashed potatoes that I wanted to use and the whole container is just about 4 cups. I had no fresh parsley, so I left it out. This is a lovely blend of different flavors combining to make a masterpiece. I served these with Nurse Di's Beef Goulash (#138124)...a match made in heaven. Thanks for another keeper.

This is the first potato pancake that my DH said that he would gladly have it again. He is very fussy about his potatoes. Wonderful flavor and it is nice to use mashed potatoes instead of raw potatoes. Thanks for sharing.

These are great! I've made lots of the Swedish pancakes with raw potatoes and these are SO much easier! I added just a little mashed turnip to use it up, and it was great! I love the caraway. My kids ate this with sour cream AND ketchup. They liked it too. Thanks!

Woohoo - we loved these potato treats! Excellent flavour and so easy to make. Loved the caraway and the lemon juice. This will be the recipe I use for leftover mashed spuds for sure. Great with sour cream!

I just had to see what these pancakes were like after seeing and hearing everyone talk about them. I see why now!!! They are absolutely awesome! DH and both gobbled them up like nobody's business. LOL I prepared these also for the World Tour 2005 contest. Thanks for such a delicious way of making potato pancakes! Its most certainly a repeat in our home from now on! :)

A fabulous recipe for those nights when just don’t feel like going with a low-fat option. A great blend of flavours from the caraway seeds and parsley, and I just LOVED the lemony flavour. Although I used low fat milk, and low fat sour cream, I decided that I was going to throw all (dietary) caution to the wind on this occasion, so we enjoyed these with a generous topping of sour cream. An absolutely scrumptious 5 star plus recipe that I just know I’ll be making again. I made a double quantity (for three) and we ate the lot. Although they would make a super side dish, they were just fantastic as a main dish for an easy-to-make Sunday night meal. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

These were wonderful. I used leftover curried potatoes and followed the recipe exactly using Danish Roasted Garlic Butter (I was out of regular butter). I loved the crisp outside and the soft inside. These were wonderful and I will be making this one again and again! Thanks Cookgirl!
