Directions:
Place a strained on top of a large mixing bowl. Grate potatoes into the strainer.

In another mixing bowl, combine the starch from first bowl (but not the water) with the eggs and the strained grated potatoes. Add the sugar, flour, salt and pepper and stir. Add in enough milk to make the batter sloppy.

In a large deep skillet, heat a couple of inches of Wesson vegetable oil. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil and cook until golden brown before turning them.

(Do a test pancake to see if you need more salt, pepper or milk).

This recipe was my Grandmother Pidacks' and as children we would have eating contests to see how many pancakes we could eat. They are so delicious! Even though this is not a Gile recipe, I wanted to include this recipe because it is something we Pidacks' make frequently, taking turns grating and standing over the oil. And, this recipe was handed down from my mother, who finally managed to get it out of her mother-in-law!
