About Cologne Rievkooche
Cologne's Goldener Pflug brewery supplies this Rievkooche recipe through the city's local recipe collection. Grated potatoes and onion form small pancakes bound with eggs and flour.
Salt seasons the potato mixture, with chopped parsley offered as an optional addition. Starch recovered from the drained potato liquid is returned to the batter.
The small cakes fry until crisp and brown, then drain before serving. Fresh apple puree is one of the accompaniments suggested by the brewery account, complementing the savoury potato and onion.
