Potato Latkes

Jewish – potato pancakes. Found in Whitworth School’s Favorite Recipes; compiled by the school’s PTA in 1974-75, as a fundraiser.

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 4 - 6

Prep Time: 10 minutes   Cook Time: about 7 - 9 minutes  

Ingredients

2 cups grated raw potatoes (measure after draining)
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 rounded or heaping tablespoon flour or matzo meal
pinch of baking powder
1 small onion, grated (optional)

Directions

Combine ingredients. Mix well. Drop pancake mixture by the tablespoon onto a hot skillet that has been generously greased with butter or shortening.
