Directions
German Savory Potato Cake (Kartoffelkuchen), Germans love to serve rich, savory pastries – especially with potatoes and/or onion This one is flavored with ham, garlic, and rosemary This makes a great appetizer or if served with a salad, a nice accompaniment for lunch This would be nice as a brunch item Translated directly from the German version I found in Schoener Essen magazine , This was a bit fussy to make because of all the different parts to it, and unfortunately didn’t turn out as well as I would have liked The texture was fine, but it was quite bland even though I added some extra ham My husband thought it was ok with sour cream, but overall probably wouldn’t make it again
