Ingredients
- 4 Potatoes, peeled
- 1 small Onion
- 2 Eggs
- 1/3 cup Flour
- 1 tsp. Baking powder
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 pinch Lemon pepper
- oil for frying
Methods/steps
- Grate potatoes either using the largest holes on a four-sided hand grater, or the grater attachment on a food processor. Place potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water to remove the starch. Be sure to allow potatoes to drain well.
- Grate onion, removing any excess moisture by placing in colander and pressing with the back of a wooden spoon. Combine potato and onion. Beat eggs into mixture; stir in flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. If using a food processor, combine ingredients using plastic knife attachment so potatoes remain in grated pieces.
- Heat 1/8" of oil in a large skillet. For each pancake, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the oil and flatten with the back of a wooden spoon; the flatter the pancake, the crisper it will be. Brown well on both sides. Drain well on paper towels.
- Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a 100° F. oven. Serve with Pink Cinnamon Applesauce (see recipe) and/or sour cream.
- Makes about 2 dozen regular size or 5 dozen miniatures.
- Pancakes may be made ahead of time and refrigerated between layers of waxed paper when cooled. To reheat, place in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake uncovered at 450° F. for 5 minutes, or until crisp and hot.
