Crispy Kartoffelpuffer with Cheese and Ham (Potato Pancakes)

Directions

1. Prepare the potatoes: put the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
2. Mix the ingredients: put the potatoes, cheese, ham, onion, garlic and parsley in a large bowl.
3. Season the mixture: add the eggs, flour and cornstarch. Season with salt, pepper and paprika, and mix everything together well.
4. Shape the pancakes: with your hands, form the mixture into flat potato pancakes.
5. Fry until golden brown: heat oil in a large frying pan and fry the pancakes in batches over medium heat, about 4–5 minutes per side, until crispy.
6. Serve: drain the finished pancakes briefly on paper towels and enjoy hot.

Tip: Serve with herb quark (Kräuterquark), a garlic dip, sour cream or a fresh salad.
