Ingredients:  


6 Medium Potatoes
3 TBSP flour, matzo meal or
bread crumbs
1 small onion (I don’t use onion, but the recipe calls for it, so it’s up to you!)
1 tsp salt (Kosher salt, if possible)
1 egg
½ tsp baking powder
Directions:
Directions:

Wash, pare & grate raw potatoes. Strain as dry as possible.

Grate onion (if you want one in this mix)

In bowl, mix onion, salt & egg. Beat well.
Mix remaining ingredients & beat into the grated potatoes, mix well.

Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat that is about ½-1” deep. Brown on both
sides. Drain on paper towels.

Serve with applesauce, soured cream, whatever you like.

Note: I don’t have a food processor or grater, I blend small amounts of
potato & water in my blender until it looks right and then drain them all.
It’s a good idea to press extra water out with a soft dish towel. I do the
same with the onion.


Don’t blend too far in advance as potatoes turn color if they sit in the air too long.
