Pickert is a German dish originating from Westphalia. It can best be described as a combination of a fritter, a potato pancake, and a waffle. The key ingredients include flour, grated potatoes, eggs, milk, yeast, salt, sugar, oil, and raisins. When the batter is prepared, pickert can be fried or baked.

In the past, it was a peasant dish because it is inexpensive and nourishing, just about right for a day of hard work in the fields. Nowadays, people consume it with fruit compotes, sugar, cinnamon, or even leberwurst liver sausage.
