Categories     Austrian

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs russet potatoes (or other starchy potato)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil (can use lard, bacon fat, clarified butter or combination for extra flavor)
1/2 sour cream

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in their skin until tender. Let cool. (Ideally, refrigerate overnight.) When cool, peel potatoes and grate them.
  • Add flour and salt and mix thoroughly. You should end up with floury crumbles.
  • Place the oil (or other fat) in a large frying pan over medium low heat. Gently fry and flip until the crumbles are nicely browned but not burned. Remove from the pan and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top. Tastes great with refreshing apple sauce.
