If you are fortunate enough to live in Germany (or close enough to shop there on occasion) you are in luck with the Kartoffelpuffer. You should be able to find them in the freezer section at any old grocery store. They can be cooked by pan frying or heated in the oven. Traditionally, they are served with apple sauce or a garlic sauce that is a cross between Ranch dressing & a creamy garlic sour cream-ish dip.

I'm close enough to Germany, that I have the frozen kind ready to rock-n-roll in the oven. I do need to figure out how to make these from scratch for when I can't just buy them at the source. I've seen a few Omas make them at fests & have a pretty good idea what needs to be done. I promise I'll experiment soon & post a recipe/technique.

Kartoffelpuffer at a fest. Just one more reason to live in Germany.

If Kartoffelpuffer are out of the question because you live in Texas, hash browns make a decent substitution.

If (& I mean IF) you can limit yourself to one biscuit, 2 sausage patties, one egg & one kartoffelpuffer, you won't be doing excessive damage to the thighs. Fill up on the fresh fruit, not the sausage.

Leftover potential: biscuits, sausage & kartoffelpuffer can be reheated for tomorrow's breakfast. Extra fruit can be frozen and eventually make a reappearance in fruit smoothies.
