Yum, Reibekuchen. They have something like it here in the US called hash browns - it's breakfast food here.
In Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) we call them Kartoffelpuffer and they're served with sugar and applesauce. :)

Like so

;) I think misses Marion doesn't like hotlinking, but I think I know what you mean XD

there's Pillekooche too, that's just with not so fine grated potatoes XD

yeah.... I need to bugg my mom to do some really nice things and give me some *not much time to cook x.x*

[breakingthrunow]

You're right, she doesn't. I like the site as it does have the pix with the recipes but what I hear about their "sueing" methods is... rather odd so maybe it should be avoided altogether. ;) You're lucky to have your Mom cook for you! =D

XDDD it was a nice experience to have a blinking gif there... poor epileptic people >.< uhm well... my mom just cooks sometimes for me too XD usually I have to do it aaaaaall by myself :(

Eep, I had to remember that Germans use commas instead of decimals. That recipe was really confusing for a second.

[nitanitachan]

I'm sorry XD I was lazy..... but at least you figured it out XD

[deutscher_engel]

Thank youuuuu.

*hug*

I love making German food. And now that I'm in college my teacher doesn't know about the German cook days I used to do in HS. XD

But now I'm going to hijack the kitchen and make some Reibekuchen! Heee.

<3

hi!

thanks a lot?

Could you post recipes of something sweet?

[nitanitachan]

[nitanitachan]

cool to know ^^
oh so the most people came out of bavaria? because that's the only region where you celebrate an oktoberfest

In the Jewish tradition, we called those potato pancakes "latkes". I used to like sugar on mine when I was a kid, but now I prefer applesauce. There are some people who like sour cream on them too.

[nitanitachan]

wow XD now I wonder where they come from...

sour cream hmmm would like my mom I guess XD

[aquila0212]

Apparently, this is the derivation of the word:

Yiddish, from Ukrainian oladka, from Old Russian, diminutive of olad'ya, from Greek eladia, pl. of eladion, little oily thing, from elaiā, olive.

I figured it had to be Yiddish, but I didnt' realize it wasn't a German-based word.
