A very popular meal in Germany, all year round, is some kind of hash browns. These delicious "rub cakes" are suitable for any meal. Sweet or savory,
you can eat them any way you like!
Additionally, they are very easy to make: Wash and peel raw potatoes and add some lemon juice to them while doing so. Then, you can decide... If
you want to eat them sweet, just add a little bit of salt. If you want to eat them savory, add a little bit more salt and some chopped onions. Now, you
just have to fry them with a little bit of oil in a pan until they are golden brown.
To complete a meal, just add something sweet or savory. For the sweet ones, you can use cinnamon and sugar, powdered sugar, or traditionally,
applesauce. If you want to eat them savory, you can serve the hash browns as a side dish for any meal: vegetables, meat, mushrooms, etc. Bon appétit!
