Savor the Flavors: German Potato Pancakes
Ditch the ordinary pancakes and dive into the delightful world of German potato pancakes. This dish transforms a classic breakfast staple into a savory dinner delight, especially when paired with Bratwurst sausage. For a unique twist, I love to spread mine with cranberry sauce and generously drizzle with maple syrup.
