Instructions
1
Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2
In a large bowl, mix the squeezed potatoes with quark, egg, flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3
Heat butter or oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
4
Take spoonfuls of the potato mixture and form small patties. Place them in the hot pan and flatten slightly.
5
Fry the Quarkkeulchen for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6
Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with applesauce or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.
Chef's Tips
- Potato Prep: Use starchy potatoes for best results as they bind better.
- Consistency: The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when formed into patties.
- Serving Suggestion: These are traditionally served as a sweet dish but can also be made savory by omitting the sugar.
- Storage: Best eaten fresh, but can be reheated in a pan or oven.
- Variation: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla sugar to the batter for extra flavor.
