Notes

  • Storage Info:
  • German Potato Pancakes are best stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, where they'll stay good for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months, placing parchment paper between each pancake to prevent sticking. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through and crisp. Alternatively, you can use an oven preheated to 350°F (about 175°C), placing the pancakes on a baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes.
