• 1 sm. onion, finely chopped or shredded
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 C. flour
• 1 t. B.P.

Step 1

Place potatoes and onions in a fine strainer. Press down on the mixture with the back of spoon to extract excess moisture. (if still water wrap in clean towel and squeeze firmly).

In large bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Form into 8 equal sized pancakes. In large skillet heat about 1/4" oil. Place half the pancakes in oil, without crowding the skillet, and fry 1 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden. If you want them crisper fry until brown flecked. Drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Serve hot.
