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* !

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best texture. - Grate the potatoes by hand using a box grater for a more consistent texture. - Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel. This will help the potato pancakes to be crispy. - Add some chopped green onions, chives, or grated carrot to the potato mixture for extra flavor and color. - Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the potato pancakes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. - Serve the potato pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or bacon. ###Conclusion:
