A little of my heritage tonight, love this stuff. First the stuffing. Ingredients lined up.

Russet Potatoes
1/2 yellow onion
1 egg
1 tsp Caraway
Ground Pepper
Kosher
Fresh Ground Nutmeg

Kartoffelpuffer, ( Potato Pancakes )
Shred three good size Russets after peeling and cleaning and one yellow onion, out in colander over bowl and using your hands squeeze out as much water as you can into another bowl. Let water sit for about half an hour, pour off the water and keep the potato starch that settled.

Great cook Bill! It's been decades since I've had potato pancakes my Mom and Grandmother used to make them all the time when I was growing up. Going to give your recipe a try. Thanks for sharing.
