Potato Pancakes - Kartoffelpletter image

These Danish treats are not like the traditional "latkes", but are made with rye flour and rolled out into cakes and cooked on a hot griddle. Serve them with melted butter and honey or brandy sauce.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 lb potatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1 c rye flour
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
2 egg whites, beaten until frothy

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the potatoes in their jackets, in a pot of boiling water, until just tender. Drain and cool slightly.
  • 2. Peel potatoes, add salt and mash while warm.
  • 3. Work the flours into the mashed potatoes, a little at a time with egg whites. Knead the dough well. (You may have to use more or less flour).
  • 4. Divide dough into eight pieces and roll each piece on a lightly floured board into a thin round cake.
  • 5. Cook on both sides on a greased griddle over medium-low heat until done. Watch them closely to keep them from burning.
  • 6. Serve with toppings of your choice.
