Potato Pancakes W/Katenspeck and Cheese (German),Few things are more-identified w/traditional German cuisine than potato pancakes. This recipe from *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny takes your garden-variety potato pancake & expands it to include the flavors of ham & cheese. Katenspeck is from the word *Katen* & means “barn” in German, i.e. this ham is made farmhouse-style (cured, smoked & cooked). Roz’s intro read: “Potato pancakes are a traditional Rheinland confection. Once it was mother who wielded the pan. Nowadays spec dys in bars & cafes are the ideal opportunity to sample this dish & there are street stalls selling them. The most famous is outside the Cologne railway station, so visitors have no excuse not to sample this delicacy! The pancakes are sometimes served w/applesauce, but this version w/chopped crispy Katenspeck, grated onion & cheese is always popular.” Made me hungry just to think about it & the pic pushed me well over that hunger edge. (Pls see notes after prep Re cheese & cooking time). *Enjoy* !,The taste and texture are wonderful, but I’m afraid I must be a potato pancake failure…my cakes just would not stay together. But I pieced them together and made the best of it. Delicious…plus I had lots of the potato mixture leftover….really makes a lot! So we will have a delicious breakfast tomorrow too! Thanks for sharing! Made for Football tag on Yuku 2014!
