Basic recipe with variations in Luxembourgish

Basic recipe: Squeeze the grated potatoes into a cloth, mix with the onions, spices, herbs, beaten eggs, and potato starch. Heat peanut, rapeseed, or olive oil in a good frying pan, add the potato mixture a tablespoon at a time, and fry until golden brown. Traditionally, this dish goes well with “Äppelkompott” (apple compote) or (for the hamburger generation) ketchup. Variations: – Add 150g of frozen peas – Replace some of the potatoes with grated carrots – Replace some of the potatoes with grated zucchini – Replace some of the potatoes with grated sweet potatoes/sweet potatoes/in Maori: “kumara” – Replace some of the potatoes with grated white beets – Add other Italian herbs and serve with a tomato salsa. The sky’s the limit!
