"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

1½ Tbsp. all purpose flour
1¼ tsp. salt
1-2 tsp. grated onion
¼ inch or more of beef drippings or oil

Directions:
Fold the potato gratings into a muslin towel and wring the towel to extract as much moisture as possible. In a separate bowl, beat eggs well and add them to the potatoes. Combine the flour and salt and sift into the mixture. Add the grated onion. Heat the beef drippings or oil in a heavy skillet. Place spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, forming them into patties ¼” thick and 3” in diameter. Brown, then turn and brown the second side until crisp. Serve with applesauce or confectioners sugar. If you must hold until all the batter is cooked, place them on a rack above a baking sheet in a 200ºF oven. Then serve all of them at once after draining on a paper towel to remove any excess fat.
