Hi! The word “purpose” is misspelled as “purose” at the bottom of one of the photos. Also, “schmaltz” is not lard (which is from pigs), it is rendered chicken fat.

Good recipe!

In reply to Marie. Great question. You can use leftover mashed potatoes, but the texture is going to be quite different. Not worse, but different. There's a different recipe where you could shape the leftover mashed into a disc, bread it, and then sauté it. That's what we sometimes used to do at home (it's delicious!). It's a kind of simple potato croquette.

Can you substitute left-over mashed potatoes and get the same results.

In reply to Pat. If the food processor has an attachment that shreds them, I don't see why it should be a problem. Just make sure you'll place them in a clean towel afterward to express the extra moisture. Hope you'll enjoy the pancakes.😀

Was wondering if I can put the potatoes in a food processor and slightly slice(bad choice) them up ?

Never thought of using nutmeg and applesauce. Dont know what nationality my husband got his recipe from, Polish, Ukrainian, Austrian? But garlic was a big part of it. Goes great with sour cream and green onions. I’ll have to try your recipe though. Sounds good.

I do not add oil no need to, I use the starch from the potato after putting them threw the grinder and I fry them in bacon fat

My grandma came from germany so i have a very similar recipe that I know from heart as I was helping from about three . Gram always served these with Sauerbraten and applesauce. i only liked homemade applesauce. But good job with the recipe.

This dish sounds wonderful, Sharon. Unfortunately, I don’t know it. I grew up with a lot of Northern German cuisine which has some similarities with Swedish cuisine.
It reminds me a little bit of German ‘Zimtnudeln’ (Cinnamon Noodles). A sweet noodle dish with cinnamon (my husband first thought it sounded gross … then he tried it and loved it 😁). It’s definitely a recipe I should add to the blog. 🙂

This would be so good. I am 83. My grandmother came from Sweden, my grandfather from Germany. She would make, when I was a child, a noodle dish that she called “Ka-NEF-lee.” It was noodles with I think cubes of toast. Do you know of anything like this? I would love to make it.

This is the exact recipe my Mom used when I was growing up! Thank you for sharing! Fantastisch!
