In some places, potato pancakes are also part of special potato festivals (for example in Kottenheim , Schlettau , Wülfrath and at the “Tolle-Knolle” potato festival in Ibbenbüren ).

In classic upscale gastronomy, the eggs used for preparation are separated and the egg whites are beaten until stiff and lifted into the mass. There they called potato pancakes with eggs unseparated as a pancake ( galette de pommes de terre ).
