List of Ingredients
4 large potatoes (about 3 pounds)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Oil for frying
Maple syrup or applesauce (optional)
Recipe
Peel and shred potatoes; place in a bowl of cold water. Line a colander with cheese cloth or paper towels. Drain potatoes into cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, flour, onion, salt and pepper.
In an electric skillet, heat 1/4 in. of oil over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into oil, about 3 in. apart. Press lightly to flatten. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter. Top with maple syrup or applesauce. Yield: about 16 pancakes
