In Bratkartoffeln, on the other hand, the potatoes are typically thinly sliced to a thickness of 2-3mm.
You can find it on the side dish menu at most izakayas and supermarkets in Japan.

【Why？ “German”？】The dish was named “German Potato” because it is a potato dish and goes well with beer, both of which are associated with Germany. It is unclear who came up with the name.
