Basic 6 Ingredient Potato Pancakes

*****Sandy's Note:

These are so basic, you may say boring. I say be creative and add your choice of spices and garnishes. This is just to get you started. My kid likes these just the way they are . . . with his favorite food group -- ketchup.

7. Keep the cakes warm in the oven until you have used all the batter.
