Potato Pancakes For Two

By Addie

Years ago, my grandson requested a special dish to be included in his class cookbook, and this is the recipe I gave him. It was his favorite whenever he ate at our house, so he was delighted. I often still serve it as a side dish, because it's a good complement to any entree. This recipe is perfect for 2 people and is as hearty as it is delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• vegetable oil, for frying
