Potato Pancakes - Kartoffelpletter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup rye flour
1 1/4 cups white flour
2 egg whites, beaten until just frothy

Preparation

Cook the potatoes in their jackets, in a pot of boiling water, until just tender. Drain and cool slightly.
Peel potatoes, add salt and mash while warm.
Work the flours into the mashed potatoes, a little at a time with egg whites. Knead the dough well. (You may have to use more or less flour).
Divide dough into eight pieces and roll each piece on a lightly floured board into a thin round cake.
Cook on both sides on a greased griddle over medium-low heat until done. Watch them closely to keep them from burning.
Serve with toppings of your choice.
