potato pancakes

Not a whole lot has been going on at our house today...it feels like a typical Sunday here. And that means there's not a lot to post so here is the recipe from the previous post:

Potato pancakes

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in potatoes and onion.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. In batches, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet. Press to flatten. Cook about 3 minutes on each side, until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

My tip is that the oil suggested above is not enough unless you want really burnt (and burnt-smelling) pancakes, so keep adding a little oil in between batches. I also cook them until they are brown and crispy (after all, I am my mother's child). I will warn you that this recipe makes A LOT of them, so if you're cooking for two, just half the recipe. They're grrrrrreat! Enjoy!
