Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Grate the potatoes and onion coarsely. Squeeze out excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix the grated potato-onion mixture with egg, flour, and salt until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture, flattening into pancakes.

  4. Step 4

    Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.

  5. Step 5

    In the same skillet, cook the sausages over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.

  6. Step 6

    Warm the sauerkraut in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the potato pancakes with sausages and sauerkraut on the side. Top with fresh onion rings and a dollop of mustard if desired.
