DIRECTIONS
- Grate the potatoes.
- I do two on the very fine side and one on the coarser side for the best texture.
- They may turn brown.
- Squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Grate the onion on the finest side and add.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
- Heat a generous amount of oil (about a half inch deep) in a heavy skillet.
- Drop the mixture in by spoonfuls.
- The tops will get slightly drier and you will see browned edges.
- When this happens flip the pancakes CAREFULLY.
- Serve on their own, or with applesauce or sour cream.
