Potato Pancakes

I think this recipe came from a German Heritage cookbook, from Fredericksburg,Texas. Grating the potatoes takes the longest time as I like them grated by hand. Try these, they are yummy!

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Yields: 10 pancakes

Ingredients

• 6  medium potatoes, peeled
• 3  eggs, beaten
• 1  small sweet onion
• 3⁄4 cup flour
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 1⁄4 cup butter, to fry in

Directions

1. Grate the potatoes, put in a large bowl of ice water.
2. In another bowl add eggs, finely-chopped onion, flour and salt.
3. Pour the water off the potatoes and place on paper towels, squeezing excess water out.
4. Add potatoes to the egg mixture.
5. Heat the butter, and use a 1/4 cup of potato batter for each pancake, brown good on both sides. This takes some patience.
