Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 cup grated russet potatoes washed and peeled first, moisture removed

Directions:
Directions:
Whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.
* Mix the two types of potatoes, the egg and cream.
* Stir in the flour mixture. The mixture should be thick, but able to spread out to cook into a patty. Add more cream if needed. (this all depends on the moisture in the mashed potatoes and shredded ones. You may need to add more.)
* Place the butter into a large skillet and melt over medium-high heat.
* Once the butter is hot, scoop mounds of the potato batter into the pan, spreading it lightly into flat circles around 1/3 of an inch thick

* Fry the one side of the patty for 2-3 minutes until well browned on the bottom, then flip.
* Cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cook through completely. Add more butter if needed.
* There is egg in the mixture so make sure they are cooked through.
* Serve hot with sour cream or with melted butter on top.

Personal Notes:
to make these into crepes, add cream, little by little, until the mixture is thinner, and will pool out into a crepe more than a pancake.
