Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and grate using a medium-coarse grater.
Combine potatoes and onion in a colander, pressing out as much moisture as possible. Mix potato mixture with eggs, salt, black pepper, flour and baking powder. Let stand 5 minutes.

2. In a heavy skillet melt butter over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil to total about a ¼ inch layer of fat. Drop potato mixture into skillet in 2 T portions, using wooden spoon to slightly flatten each one.
Don't make them too thin and don't let them touch. Fry for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and fry 1 minute more. Use a slotted spatula to remove from oil. Drain on paper towels.
