German-style potato pancakes, known in Germany as "Kartoffelpuffer" or "Reibekuchen," are a delicious traditional preparation dating back several centuries. This recipe is part of German culinary culture and has spread to various regions, adapting to local ingredients and tastes. In Latin America, although they are not as common under this name, there are similar variants that use grated potatoes as a base, known in some countries as potato patties or latkes, especially in the Jewish community. This dish is characterized by its crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside, and is traditionally served with applesauce or sour cream.
