INGREDIENTS

450 g potatoes, cooking type B or C
350 g sauerkraut
3 cloves garlic
100 g cracklings
salt
ground pepper
2 teaspoons crushed caraway seeds
2 teaspoons dried marjoram
2 eggs
60 g all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons lard for frying

Instructions

1
Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Squeeze out the liquid thoroughly. Also squeeze out the liquid from the cabbage and let it drain in a colander. Peel and press the garlic. Finely chop the cracklings. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the lard for frying.
2
In a pan over medium heat, melt the lard and form 7 cm diameter pancakes from 2 tablespoons of dough. Fry them until golden brown for 2–3 minutes on each side. Place the finished pancakes on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess fat.

Tip

You can serve the pancakes with smoked meat.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
