Luxembourg potato cakes, also known as "Gromperekichelcher," are a popular traditional dish in Luxembourg. These potato cakes are made from grated potatoes mixed with various ingredients and then fried until they are crispy and golden brown.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, beaten egg, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
Take a spoonful of the potato mixture and carefully place it in the hot oil, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a pancake shape. You can cook multiple cakes at a time, depending on the size of your pan.
Fry the potato cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Luxembourg potato cakes hot as a delicious snack or as a side dish along with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, applesauce, or ketchup.
