Ingredients

• 4 cups shredded peeled potatoes (about 4 large)
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp grated onion
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• cooking oil

Preparation

Step 1

Rinse potatoes in cold water; drain well. Place in a large bowl. Add egg, flour, onion, salt and pepper; mix well. In our LARGE Frying Pan, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. Make sure the pan is VERY hot and then Drop batter by 1/3 cupfuls into hot oil. Flatten to form a pancake. Fry until golden brown; turn and brown the other side. Drain on paper towel. Serve immediately.

NOTE: Didn't do this exactly as written - said to remind Michael to picture Grandma making them.
